From December 18 to December 21, Omsk businessmen visited the Republic of India (Mumbai), where they held a number of business meetings and participated in a contact exchange with representatives of Indian small and medium-sized businesses.
"The Omsk Region Export Support Center organized the participation of Omsk entrepreneurs in the business mission free of charge as part of the implementation of the national projects "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support for individual Entrepreneurship initiatives" and "International Cooperation and Export" in the region. The Center covered the costs of finding and selecting business partners, organizing and conducting negotiations, transferring within India, as well as developing presentation materials for each participant in the business mission," said Evgeny Kovtun, General Director of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency.
As part of the business program, representatives of Omsk enterprises held presentations, B2B negotiations with potential Indian partner buyers, field meetings at relevant enterprises, and also visited the Indian Chamber of International Business (ICIB), the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA) and the Forum of Industrialists, Businessmen and Professionals (BIA), where they were able to tell about their products to the Indian business.
So, the largest company Bombay Tools, which is a pioneer in India in the supply of tools in the field of metrology and instrumentation, was interested in a thickness gauge from Omsk-based IP Chuvakin V.N. The company took a sample for testing, and Omsk residents will receive feedback in the near future.
The Russian Shkant company managed to meet with India's largest distributor of lumber and timber, Shree Jalaram Timber Depot Pvt. Ltd. The company has shown a special interest in Omsk-made larch products.
"The Center will tell you about the more detailed results of the business mission in the near future. The Center's specialists will continue to interact with the participants of the business mission and provide support in conducting further negotiations to conclude export contracts," said Alexandra Lyavrik, Head of the Omsk Region Export Support Center.
