Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Consulate General of Toronto organised a felicitation program for Dr. CP Gurnani, the Managing Director and CEO of Tech Mahindra, one India’s leading information technology companies in Toronto earlier this week.

Dr. Gurnani is a much-honoured and felicitated tech guru who has transformed Tech Mahindra into a giant and guided its emergence as one of the top five Indian digital IT solution providers with an enviable track record and an ever-expanding global footprint.

Dr. Gurnani has acquired a formidable reputation in the rarified top echelons of the corporate world because of his unique and superlative achievements, the biggest of them all being the overall transformation of Tech Mahindra following the acquisition and merger of Satyam

Tech Mahindra’s turnaround under him is known amongst his peers, is reputed to be one of the biggest in the Indian corporate history; a feat that became possible because of his inimitable style of leadership that focuses on customer experience

Welcoming Dr. Gurnani, Arun Srivastava, President, ICCC, said that it is an important and significant event that a company such as Tech Mahindra has decided to enter the Canadian market. It is a sign of the growing bilateral economic relations between Canada and India, and the growing confidence that Indian enterprises have in Canadian business environment. He also provided a brief introduction of the ICCC and of the landmark Canada-India Business Symposium that is being planned on June 9.

Ambassador Dinesh Bhatia, Consul General of India in Toronto, in his remarks shared his reminiscences of having known Dr. Gurnani during the earlier part of their careers when they were both engineers.  He reiterated that the interest among private sector in both countries for the economic collaboration has steadily grown and is reaching a peak. It is a matter of time when the two-way trade between Canada and India will cross its current self-imposed confines and break free to rise steadily.

Thanking both the ICCC and the Consulate General of India in Toronto, Dr. Gurnani said he was honoured by the warm welcome he had been accorded. He said that it is a significant sign that both the ICCC and the Consulate General have been increasingly collaborating on a business agenda promoting bilateral relations.

The reception witnessed participation by several significant members of the Indo-Canadian community, including members and stakeholders of the Chamber, and several past presidents and board members.
