Timely Speed Networking for Busy Business People | Indo American ...

By Jawahar Malhotra

HOUSTON: The Indo American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Houston (IACCGH) has started out on its events calendar for 2013 with a bang, with two different programs spread out within days of each other. Last Saturday, January 19 it held a seminar explaining the aspects of the Affordable Healthcare Act and then followed it up this past Tuesday, January 22 with a Networking event at Bombay Brasserie restaurant

In what must be the equivalent of speed dating, just over 80 people got a chance to speak for 60 seconds on themselves and their business, followed with a short description of the work that the Chamber has done since it was first started in 1999. The Chamber?s long term Executive Director Jagdip Ahluwalia, in his usual cheerful and casual style, explained some of the Chamber?s achievements and nudged on the new attendees to join and enjoy the benefits that come with it.

Mahesh Shah of GOPIO and Madras Pavilion restaurant gave glowing testimony to how his association with IACCGH has enlightened him personally and benefitted his business. ?Without them, I would never have gotten the chance to cater at the Convention Center when Microsoft held its meeting there,? he said by way of example.

The new Chamber President Pankaj Dhume, who was instrumental in founding the organization, explained what his goals were for the year-long tenure he will have. He was excited at the prospect of expanding community outreach and helping businesses grow.

Networking events will feature as a big part of that effort for the Chamber, and judging from the way this one went, several attendees made good connections and struck up deals to collaborate further. This form of speed dating certainly seemed to have made its mark!
