Asian Indian Chamber of Commerce-Georgia Hosts 1st Opportunity India Conference

Although one of the newer chambers in the Atlanta region, the Georgia Indian Chamber of Commerce is making its presence felt in the international arena. “The 2008 Opportunity India conference is one of our initiatives designed to encourage trade opportunities for both investors from India coming to Atlanta and Georgia companies looking to India,” said Brenda Morant, Executive Director of the chamber.

An impressive and informed group of experts were speakers during the conference, including:

Mrs. Banashri Bose Harrison, Minister (Commerce), Indian Embassy, Washington, D.C.
Mr. K. V. Kumar, Chairman, U. S. Indian American Chamber of Commerce, Scottsdale, AZ.
Ms. Ramjana Khanna, Assistant Secretary General, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Washington, D.C.
Mr. Subash Razdan, President, Asian American Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta.

Mr. Chris Moder, Program Director, Office of Economic Development, Board of Regents, University Systems of Georgia.
Mr. Sam Olens, Chairman, the Atlanta Regional Commission and Cobb County Board of Commissioners.

There is growing interest in trade with India. According to Ken Stewart, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Georgia is the largest U.S. exporter of textile products to India, third in exports of paper to India and a major exporter of computers, electronics, chemicals and non-electric machinery. A number of Indian companies in a variety of industries also have established operations in the Atlanta region and Georgia. Reddy US Therapeutics, Inc., for example, located in Norcross occupies a state-of-the-art laboratory that is designed and equipped for molecular biological, biochemical and chemical research.
