World on Common platformThe Delegates Gallery...

‘ When we talk about innovation, there has to be something which will protect against piracy. And that is where intellactual property

rights (IPR) has a role to play. In our opinion summits like GIS are not a very common sight but whenever they happen, corporates from all over the world joins together. So we find it a global platform. Young proffesionals like us are lucky to witness such a prestigeous event. - Paritosh Goyal and Sahil Jha, R.K. Dewan & Co.

Innovation and IPR

‘ Earlier, Vidharbha was miles ahead of Madhya Pradesh in terms of invest-

ment and attracting global companies. There was palpable gap. But now with regular events like this, MP is catching fast. Although the state has lot to do in getting the attention of food industry, that it rightfully deserves. GIS is a big step forward in that direction.

Catching up fast
