IBPC QATAR & Electronics & Computer Software Export Promotion Council of India (ESC India) jointly hosted a Virtual Buyer Seller Meeting between Indian Exporters and Qatari Importers. H.E. Dr Deepak Mittal, Ambassador of India to Qatar, addressed the delegates. Trade between India and Qatar reached a record US$ 15bn last year, but Dr. Mittal hoped that both sides will take this even higher. Although the current trade basket was highly loaded in favour of energy products, Dr. Mittal urged businesses on both sides to look at ways to diversifying into IT, which played a big role during the pandemic, and the potential arising out of FIFA 2022 and after.
India is already the second largest producer of mobile phones and with the launch of PLI Scheme for Electronics sector, many new interesting opportunities will emerge. Dr. Mittal urged delegates to take advantage of these opportunities, and assured full support to Indian and Qatari business houses in their endeavor.
IBPC CO Angeline Premalatha also attended the event which saw 60 Indian and 25 Qatari companies trying to forge new business partnerships. Several new business deals were struck during the two-hour Meet.
Sandeep Narula (Chairman ESC), IBPC President Jaffer Us Sadiq, and Gurmeet Singh (Executive Director ESC) all spoke at the event.
IBPC VP Abdul Sathar was the event coordinator.
