BIA in 2022 plans to create more opportunities for business interactions and become a platform for knowledge sharing while at the same time looking to increase representation to the government. Networking across domestic and international markets is also a major priority, it said.
Anil Agrawal who was also the chief guest of the event, said “SME’s are the backbone of the global economy and we as Indians have tremendous potential in driving the SMEs.

Speaking about Innovation, Goenka who is also Sanghvi’s mentor, said “The heart of innovation is adopting something new. Suppose there are 1200 members, It’s not about creating 1200 new ideas every day, it is about whether the 1200 people will adopt the new idea faster than anyone else.”
