Dear <<First Name>>,
Warm greetings from INZBC!
Having recently stepped into the role as Chair of INZBC, it is my pleasure on behalf of our executive council to extend our warm greetings and best wishes to you and your family for the Christmas holiday period and for the coming new year.
The last two years have been far from ‘Business as Usual’ for all of us. Many of the businesses associated with INZBC felt the strain of Covid disruption. At the same time, I am very proud that the NZ Indian community is reported to have achieved one of the highest vaccination rates among community groups in NZ.
Through the disturbance of lockdowns, support from INZBC’s 300 plus membership and corporate partners has remained strong. Our organisation finishes the year in stable financial condition and is fit to deliver its services in the year ahead.
More importantly, the Covid experience has challenged us to adapt. INZBC successfully held a hybrid version of its annual Summit in June 2021, attracting over 300 guests both physically and virtually. The theme of that summit was ‘Decade of the New Normal’. This future oriented event brought together local and online contributors who provided deep insight into the evolving strategic landscape covering Indo-Pacific ties, Globalisation & Trade Regulations post-COVID, and changing scenarios in the Services sector. Another significant event was teaming up with Pharmac NZ for an online seminar on the 'Pharma landscape in NZ'. This event focused on Indian companies wanting to do business in New Zealand. Holding these headline events and multiple smaller activities occurring during unusual conditions demonstrates the value of a fully functioning organisation in INZBC.
For the year ahead, we are all looking forward to the day we can resume seamless travel. INZBC will be hosting a series of forums through 2022 focused on import and export trade. We have seen the value of being able to assemble highly relevant speakers and engaged audiences through technology to augment physical meetings, and I trust you will be able to join us at some of these events during the coming year.
INZBC continues to enjoy close co-operation and engagement with both the New Zealand Government and the Government of India, together with their respective agencies. I am particularly grateful to Hon. Muktesh Pardeshi, High Commissioner of India to New Zealand, and Mr David Pine, New Zealand’s High Commissioner in India. Both share our commitment to enhancing our bilateral business relationships, and both lend their valuable support to our activities.
To conclude, I want to thank acknowledge the role Sameer Handa as outgoing Chair has played successfully steering INZBC through the past two years. INZBC has been well served by our executive committee members Jay Changlani, Michael Fox, Carmen Vicelich, and chapter heads Pushpa Wood, Sandeep Sharma and India Chapter Heads: Sreedhar, Bharat Joshi; who along with our key management resource Garry Gupta and Sunil Kaushal wish you all the very best for the Christmas period and the year ahead.
