The unopposed appointments mark progress in establishing India as a premier destination for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) events.
New leadership includes Mr. Chander Mansharamani as Vice-Chairperson, Mr. Sudeep Sarcar as Honorary Secretary, and Mr. Amit Saroj continuing as Honorary Treasurer.
Vice-Chairperson Mansharamani outlined plans to restructure operations aligned with international standards, emphasising the need for collaboration with India's Ministry of Tourism to enhance presence at international trade fairs and secure financial support for promotional activities.
