PRESIDENT'S NOTE

B V Gopal Reddy

Today, the world of business has become so connected online that it may be the hardest thing in the world to find a business without a website of its own!

Even so, it is not enough to list a website, and think that it is now for the world around us to connect with us.

Just like how we grow a plant, we have to grow our website. And that is precisely what we all have to do, together, as one.

The Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FKCCI) is an apex body that is not only the most active Chamber in the country, but also has a reputed overseas footprint, in terms of collaborative engagement with other stakeholders abroad.
