| In
a latest move to increase its networks in Canada, the Indo-Canada
Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) has opened new offices in Halifax
and Vancouver to promote trade, commerce and investment between
the two countries, according to ICCC President Sunil Jagasia.
The Halifax chapter is headed by Venkatesh Thyagarajan as its
Chairman. With
the two new chapters, the members of ICCC would gain better
access to markets opening the doors to networking, sharing
ideas, information and experiences to promote mutual business
success.
The
Chamber has been in existence for the last 30 years and was
now expanding to other parts of the country. Also, the chamber's
30-member delegation had participated in the Pravasi Bhartiya
Divas held in early January 2008.
According
to Thyagarajan, he plans on hosting, visiting Indian dignitaries
and create networking opportunities for both Indo-Canadians
and mainstream Canadians in the Atlantic region. He intends
to work with the Port of Halifax and would be looking towards
working with Nova Scotia Business Inc., the (Atlantic) gateway
initiative, universities, private and public businesses in
Atlantic Canada that is doing business with India. He intends
to increase their visibility in India through its large membership.
