What is one unique attribute of your WTC that can benefit members of other WTCs, or something operational your WTC excels at that other WTCs can learn from you?

WTC Mumbai is a unique organization based on the principle of Public and Private Partnership. There are several accomplishments of the WTC Mumbai that have made it a premier catalyst for promotion of India’s trade and investment. Our flagship event is Global Economic Summit organized annually. It has become a global brand and attracts as many as 500 delegates from over 35 countries. Conference, B2B Meets, Exhibitions, Industry Visits etc. are the components of this prestigious event attended by VIP Dignitaries, Governments of various countries, Businesses, Academia, R & D Units and so on. Many WTCs in the world participate, lead delegations, and derive benefits for the delegates. This year GES 2015 will be held at WTC Mumbai during Nov. 19-21, 2015 and theme is Enabling Food for All. We invite participation of all WTCs in this GES.

Have you attended a Member Seminar in the past?

Yes, I have attended the Member Seminar in New York during 2014 and 2005.

What are you most looking forward to at the 2015 Member Seminar?

I look forward to meeting WTC Colleagues from all over the world, exchanging experiences and ideas, as well as learning and understanding new initiatives from the WTCA Plenary sessions. I am confident that there will be significant takeaways this time as well.
