strengths and achievements of the Indian economy and
the tremendous opportunities that have been opening

business and encouraged the audience to network. He
said “there could be no better person to do business
with than a fellow member of the Chamber. Many of
our members are willing to go the extra mile or
offer special rates for their fellow members. “ He
also explained that “The One Benefit of membership

business card ads in a special members’ service
directory that the Chamber plans to print 1000 to
