Irvine, here. The fifth annual event kicked off with the lamp lightning ceremony. The inaugural speeches focused on the trade aspects between India and US. Avdhesh Agarwal, Chairman Organizing Committee; Sajjan Bhajanka, Governing Council Member and Professor R Vaidyanathan from Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bengaluru spoke on why WHEF is a must destination for a Hindu businessman who wants to grow and expand rapidly in the US.
“WHEF aims to improve the state of Hindus around the globe and we plan to accomplish that by bringing them under one roof,” said Agarwal. Other speakers, Sajjan and Vaidyanathan explained that Indo-America trade can boom only if Hindus understand their desire to grow exponentially and bring others closer in business. They quoted the Vedas, which states “Create wealth with 100 hands and share it with 1000 hands.”
Another notified speaker, Dr Mukesh Aghi, President US India Business Council (USIBC) outlined the grabbing trends for Hindu businessmen in upcoming years. He said, “In India, unemployment and migration are two disturbing trends; in next 10 years the situation will worsen, so there is a need to focus on them. These mega trends have and can seriously impact India’s relationship with the US in future. Culturally both the countries are same — talk about democracy, opinions or anything else. Today there are 3.5 million Indo-Americans in the US. In fact, the US is the only country where India has a trade surplus of 30 billion dollars. India is the biggest exporter of IT services which may be at risk with the new administration in power especially as H1 B visas will be impacted.”
