A high-level Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) delegation was hosted at a networking and business meet organised by the Indian Business and Professional Network (IBPN) at the Raddison Blu recently. Indian
Ambassador Sanjiv Arora, who was the chief guest, highlighted the importance of the visit of such high-level delegations in enhancing the trade ties between India and Qatar. He said the Government of India attaches top priority to such high-level engagements. Arora also said through such interactions, IBPN and its members would benefit to a great extent in their business and profession. IBPN president KM Varghese stressed the need to build a conducive atmosphere for increasing trade between India and Qatar. A special presentation on “Looking Beyond Oil” by Ajay kumar, assistant general manager (asset management) at QNB, was the highlight of the function. Dr Naushad Forbes, CII president-designate, introduced his team members. He praised IBPN for its significant role in promoting trade between Qatar and India, acting as a “functional bridge.” Sujata Zinzuwadia, head (finance), IBPN welcomed the gathering and Kala Gopalakrishnan, vice-president, proposed a vote of thanks.
