President's Message
Pramod Goyal
Most of our members are first generation immigrants from India, and they have all personally experienced the thrill of the budget announcements. As the Indian economy grows, the budget is no longer the only engine driving India’s growth; there are many means being deployed to streamline the system and provide an impetus to growth.
As the Indian government continues to undertake measures to boost the economy and revive it, your Chamber is bringing for you a live wire panel discussion on the Indian Budget 2020-21 in collaboration with the Consulate General of India.
After a brief lull in programming, your Chamber is gearing up for many engaging programs in the next few weeks. In March 2020, for our eighth annual International Women’s Day conference, we will have many prominent women as speakers. Later in March 2020, your Chamber will be leading its annual India Mission 2020 from 20 March to 1 April 2020. This multi sector, multi city trade mission will go to Chandigarh, Delhi, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. The following are the focus sectors: Healthcare & Nutrition, Information Technology, Education & Immigration, Travel & Hospitality.
You will find details of these events in this month’s newsletter.

India Mission 2020
20 March – 1 April 2020
Chandigarh, New Delhi, Lucknow, Ahmedabad
Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) will lead its annual India Mission between 20 March and 1 April 2020.
The trade mission will primarily focus on Healthcare & Nutrition, Information Technology, Education & Immigration, Travel & Hospitality and the Services sector, and will visit Chandigarh, New Delhi, Lucknow, Ahmedabad.
Delegates will engage in B2B meetings, seminars, conferences, expo and focused group meetings based on their sectors. ICCC will be working with its India office and MoU partners in India to finalize meetings. The mission delegates succeed in getting new business connections which will pave the way for their cooperation with Indian partners and possibly open opportunities for collaboration.
Our past missions have witnessed participation from the decision makers from Canadian and Indian governments at the federal, provincial and city levels. During the last decade, we have successfully forged linkages with our partners – chambers of commerce, industry associations and trade promotion agencies – from across India.
These partners in success have ensured that every India Mission has resulted in tie-ups between Canadian and Indian small businesses, leading to collaborations. In addition, the Canadian diplomatic corps, and especially the Trade Commissioners’ Services, have taken a keen interest in ensuring that our missions are a success.
We invite you to participate in the Mission.
