IMC President’s Message
Welcome to this 2011 Edition of ‘India Calling’, the flagship event of the
Indian Merchants’ Chamber being held in Vietnam this year, once again, a
new destination. Conferences under the brand, ‘India Calling’, organized by
IMC explore new destinations every year based on the opportunities that are
coming up for India in terms of both outward and inward trade with the host
country and of late, even for establishing manufacturing and service base in
these countries and for outward investments.
The Government of India’s ‘Look East’ initiative, encouragement by India’s
Foreign Affairs and Commerce Ministries, the enthusiastic response from both
Indian and Vietnamese Embassies, the spontaneous acceptance of invitation
by Mr Kamal Nath, Minister for Urban Development, to inaugurate the
Conference and excitement of all supporting organizations and businesses
with regard to developmental plans of Vietnam, led to the selection of Vietnam
as a venue for this year’s ‘India Calling’ Conference.
Bilateral trade information as also basic country information are available in this booklet and more detailed
information on opportunities for various businesses and aspects of doing business in Vietnam and India are
available in the Knowledge Book prepared by KPMG for this event.
The India Calling event has gained a special place in IMC’s events for the value proposition that these events
bring to bear to the participating businesses. I say this from experience as I have had the opportunity of
participating in all but one of these events. Understanding the local environment and meeting key businesses,
policy and law makers in foreign lands in these events are most useful for business development and also
for India as a country. These events sell India’s growth story as much as any other event led by the head of
the country or political leadership.
Vietnam, a traditionally agrarian economy, is on the path of industrialization and is also aiming at becoming
a major service provider in identified segments. The assets here are owned by State and there is not much
privatization. It has a large young population and is looking at India to learn from its success stories of
growth. Dr Mashelkar is advising Vietnam on strategies for “inclusive growth/innovation”. In addition to
infrastructural development and related financing, legal and structuring (PPP Model) matters, education,
healthcare, information technology and financial services are areas of current interest for Vietnam in
services sector and engineering goods, textiles and pharmaceuticals in manufacturing sector, as informed to
the Organising Committee of IMC.
I am confident that participants will find opportunities of their interest and the participation will be rewarding
in terms of gathering knowledge and information, in addition to establishing contacts in these markets.
We are really enthused by the special attention given by the Indian High Commissioner, Mr. Ranjit Rae and
Consul General Mr. Abhay Thakur for establishing contacts, extending invitations and providing significant
support for making this Conference a very enriching experience for the participants. So also, Ambassador of
Vietnam Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tan and Consul General Mr. Bui Van Thinh in India have extended full support
and co-operation for this Conference. My heartfelt regards and thanks to them and their team.
My sincere appreciation for the efforts put in by the Organising Committee led by Mr. Nayan Patel, a very
experienced hand at these events, who have taken time out from their very busy schedules to make this
Conference an impressive one.
The IMC Secretariat led by Mr. Arvind Pradhan has left no stone unturned for this event and believe me,
holding conferences in developing countries with a language barrier is no easy task.
I would also like to thank all the sponsors, advertisers, supporting organizations and our Knowledge Partner,
KPMG, who have been bringing out excellent publications for these conferences year after year.
There are many others who have worked very hard to make this event happen and I sincerely appreciate and
acknowledge their contributions.
Let me wish you all the very best for the thought provoking discussions and fruitful networking meetings.
See you in Hanoi,
Bhavna Doshi
President, IMC

GOA India’s top tourist destination and one of its
youngest states is also a highly coveted hub of industry
Goa is one of the youngest Indian states, which
gained its Independence from the Portuguese in
December 1961 and was granted statehood in May
1987. In the last 20 years or so, Goa has emerged
among the most preferred destinations for all segments of domestic and international tourists. Today, such is the level of inflow during peak season
that the number of tourists visiting Goa often exceeds that of the local population by a factor of
two!
Philips, Ratiopharm and so on. Similarly, the list
of domestic companies resembles the who’s who
of India. Tata Motors managed Automobile Corporation of Goa, Cipla, Crompton Greaves, D-Link,
Finolex Cables, Goa Carbon, Sesa Goa, Hindustan
Unilever, MRE, Marico, Ranbaxy, Sagaocars, Dempos, Chowgules, UB Spirits, Zuari Agro-Chemicals,
Titan Time Products, Zenith Computers – the list
continues.
Even as vacationers have put Goa on the international map, the state has been more than a travellers’ Mecca. Instead, it is a throbbing industrial
location and home to a multitude of multinational
and Indian companies which have expanded and
thrived in the state. Prior to its liberation some
homegrown entrepreneurs successfully laid the
foundation of a vibrant industry.
GOA
When Goa achieved statehood in 1987, there were
only 3,200 small-scale industrial units and just 46
medium-and large-scale businesses. At the end of
the calendar year 2007, the state had 7, 119 smallscale industrial units, providing employment to
nearly 50,000 people and 209 medium- and largescale industrial units employing over 25,000 people. This works out to 30 per cent of the 2.46 lakh
people employed in various enterprises, excluding crop production and plantation. These operate across a range of businesses, spanning food
processing to computer peripherals and from
wines and spirits to defence and telecom equipment. According to the Economic Survey of Goa
2007-08, the shares of primary (mainly agriculture)
and tertiary sectors (mainly tourism and services)
in the gross state domestic product (GSDP) have
been shrinking over the last 15 years. However, riding on the consistently higher growth rate, the secondary sector (mainly manufacturing) has pushed
up its contribution to the GSDP to 43 per cent in
2005-06 from 29 per cent in 1990-91.

Progressive
Industrial Destination
Goa invites investments for its Pharma,
Food Processing, light engineering, Bio-tech
and Apparel Parks. Goa is hailed as the best
industrial Destination in the country on
account of several factors, that set it apart
from the other states.

Message
I am glad to know that the Indian Merchants’ Chamber is organizing the annual India Calling
Conference in Vietnam this year.
I congratulate the IMC for undertaking this important initiative to strengthen the all-round
strategic business partnership between India and Vietnam. Both our countries are the emerging
market economies which will play major role in the shaping of the global economy. This event

Minister of Urban
Development, India
Kamal Nath
Message
The Indian Merchants’ Chamber (IMC) is organizing the ‘India Calling Conference 2011’ from 5-10
November, 2011 in Hanoi, Vietnam. The Conference will provide an opportunity to reiterate the strong
socio-economic linkages between India and Vietnam and set the momentum for further deepening the
engagement.
The new India is a Young Knowledgeable India. With more than half of India’s population being less
than 25 years of age and a vast reservoir of knowledge workers, India is well placed to take advantage of
knowledge based production which is likely to be the key driver in the 21st Century.
India’s economy is being driven by its world class business leaders and entrepreneurs. Leveraging the
nation’s comparative advantage of knowledge, Indian companies have grown through acquisition, built
best-in-class competency and became large scale players. This Conference will enable the captains of
Indian Industry to gain firsthand exposure to the Vietnamese people and to one of the fastest emerging
Asian economy.
I congratulate IMC for choosing Vietnam as their destination for their flagship event and wish the
Conference all success.

between India and Vietnam as this Nation has very good potential for growth of trade and investments
which would be useful for India.

Message
I am happy to know that the Indian Merchant’s Chamber is organizing their flagship event “India
Calling” in Vietnam this year, with the primary objective of exploring and expanding trade and business
opportunities between the two countries.
I have no doubt that this Conference in which hundreds of leading companies from many diverse sectors
of the economy will participate, is going to lead to a win-win situation for all concerned parties.
India’s business frontiers are expanding year after year. In this scenario, partnerships especially with the
countries in the region are exremely important. Therefore, the initiative of IMC in promoting international
entrepreneurship with focus on an Asian Country like Vietnam is laudable. I appreciate IMC’s efforts in
bringing India and Vietnam closer together through mutually beneficial trade and business partnerships,
and wish the Conference all success.

Message
It gives me great pleasure to know that the Indian Merchants’ Chamber is organizing their annual India
Calling event to Vietnam this year.
There is no doubt that such events benefit the business communities of both sides to a great extent
by providing professional networking opportunities which may otherwise not be easily available. I am
confident that this Conference will go a long way in enhancing the trust and relationship between the
business communities of our countries and will lead to an expansion of mutual trade and commerce.
I must compliment the IMC in selecting Vietnam as their destination for this mega event. Both of our
economics are in a phase of sustained growth and will provide the entrepreneurial community with a
wide and diverse range of business opportunities.
I look forward to a very successful India Calling Conference which will benefit both countries immensely
and convey my best wishes for its total success.

Message
I am happy to know that the Indian Merchants’ Chamber, one of the leading pioneer Chamber of trade,
commerce and industry of India, the trusted friend of Vietna ese business community, will be holding
its 2011 India Calling Conference in Viet Nam.
I can reckon that this event is really a praiseworthy initiative to explore new opportunities and scopes of
business co-operation for Vietnamese and Indian entrepreneurs. It will also create an useful playground
for both sides business people to make important direct interaction, thus providing ample business to
business links.
Taking this opportunity, I would like to praise the comprehensive and concrete bilateral relationship between Vietnam and India which have been strengthened by the utmost efforts extended from both sides.
India has substantially been one of Vietnam’ most important partners in the fields of industrial and trade
co-operation. Both countries are heading for the target in bilateral trade volume at $7 billion by 2015 as

I am glad that the Indian Merchants’ Chamber is holding its 2011 edition of the ‘India Calling Conference’
in Vietnam during 5-10 November 2011.
As a dynamic economy with a young population, Vietnam is one of the most promising and attractive
emerging markets. It is a key focus country in our “Look East” policy. Our bilateral relations were
elevated to the level of “Strategic Partnership” in 2007. A major pillar of this partnership is our trade and
investment co-operation.
Indian companies have invested more than USD 225 million in Vietnam in areas as diverse as oil and
gas exploration, mining and mineral processing, sugar manufacturing, agro-commodities and agro
processing, rubber, steel, healthcare and ICT. Bilateral trade which amounted to USD 2.38 billion for the
period January-July 2011, registered an increase of 43% vis-à-vis the corresponding period in 2010. The two
countries have decided to set a target of USD 7 billion for bilateral trade by 2015. 1 am confident that with
the entry into force of the India-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement in Goods and concerted efforts by all sides,
we will be able to surpass this target.
The India Calling Conference will provide a valuable platform for B2B linkages and create greater
awareness amongst the participating companies about business environments and practices in the two
countries.
I am confident that this initiative of the Indian Merchants’ Chamber, with support of the Vietnam
Chambers of Commerce and Industry and People’s Committee of Hanoi will further develop and
strengthen our trade and investment partnership with Vietnam.
I wish the India Calling Conference in Vietnam all success and congratulate the Indian Merchants’
Chamber for this important initiative.

I am delighted that the Indian Merchants’ Chamber is holding the “India Calling Conference and Business
Summit” in Ho Chi Minh City from November 8 to 11, 2011. The Conference includes participation from
India and Vietamese business in diverse sectors, including healthcare, agro-processing, infrastrucure,
financial services, textiles and IT; as well as a ‘Catalogue Show”. The “India Calling” Conference is one of
the most important events in our bilateral calendar this year in Ho Chi Minh City.
India and Vietnam are among the fastest growing economics in Asia and the world. Our bilaterla trade
grew by 34.4% in 2010 to reach US$ 2.75 billion, and registered 41.1% growth in the period JanuaryJuly 2011. It is a good sign that both Vietnam’s exports to India and India’s exports to Vietnam are
growing apace across diverse sectors. Indian Investments in Vietnam are growing steadily. This year
we are seeing M/s. Fortis Healthcare’s acquisition of 65% stake in Hoan My Medical Corp; M/s. Marico’s
acquisition of 85% stake in ICP Vietnam; Inauguration of the M/s. Venky’s poultry feed mill in Tay Ninh
province; groundbreaking ceremony of M/s. Philips Carbon Black’s plant in the Vung Tau province; and
the inauguration of M/s. Hoa Sen Groups steel mill in Vung Tau province, where the cold rolling steel
mill has been imported from India.
The India-Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IVCCI), under the Indian Merchants’ Chamber,
has been particularly active in the last few years, including undertaking visits to Vietnam and hosting
business delegations from Ho Chi Minh City.
I am confident that with growing mutual interest and efforts of Indian and Vietnamese business
communities, our trade-economic co-operation will significantly strengthen further in the years ahead.
I wish the participating Indian and Vietamese companies the very best in their effort to build useful and
mutually beneficial linkages during the “India Calling” Conference.

Dear Respected Readers,
We are delighted to know that the India Calling Conference 2011 is holding in Vietnam in first weeks of
November 2011 by Indian Merchants’ Chamber (ICM). ICM is one of the pioneers which have been putting
abundant efforts in boosting the bilateral trade between Vietnam and India since 1990. The upcoming
India Calling event will definitely bring in a great opportunity for both Vietnam and Indian Business men
to learn more about the culture as well as business aspects of the both countries.
Vietnam and India share a long standing tradition of friendship and co-operation based on the cordial
ties forged by our great leaders Jawaharlal Nehru and Ho Chi Minh. The relations have been further
strengthened after the strategic partner established between the both countries on July 2007. Apart from
the development in various areas in politic, economy, culture and education…etc., the co-operations
between the individual states and social organizations are also increased both in quantity and quality.
Both the countries had signed many commercial agreements.
The bilateral trade turnover between Vietnam and India has reached USD 2,75 billion in 2010, over 34,4%
compared to the same period in 2009. Import from Vietnam to India reached USD 990 million, increase
136%, meanwhile the import from India to Vietnam was more than USD 1,7 billion, increase 7.78%.
The bilateral trade between India and Vietnam has grown ten times during the past 10 years and, with
the signing of ASEAN Free trade Agreement, is expected to reach high target by 2015.
Vietnam economy has been tremendously improved since 1986 after the Government implements the
“doi moi” (renovation) policy. Vietnam is, now, listed as one of the most attractive destinations for
investment among nations in Southeast Asia.
Vietnam values the strategic partnership with India. The government will provide continuous supports
to Vietnamese Business men as well as Business men from India in an attempt to help increasing the
business relations between the both countries
On behalf of Vietnam Consulate in Mumbai.

I am glad to know about India Calling Conference 2011, Vietnam (5-10 Nov. 2011). I am sure this conference
will boost the business relations between the two countries and the business communities from both
nations will be highly benefited.
I have been associated with Vietnam since 1998 and our Shrijee Group has been executing turnkey sugar
projects and supplying sugar machinery to most sugar factories in Vietnam. I am highly impressed with
the manufacturing facilities available in Vietnam, especially in engineering industry, and the work force
is always eager to learn. Thus Vietnam can be a world-class manufacturing hub if Indian engineering
companies provide them with design, drawing and technical support.
I wish the India Calling Conference 2011 all the success, and I look forward to greater business development
between the two nations.

Evolution of India Calling
The journey of Indian Merchants’ Chamber’s “India Calling” began with its first few editions in India beginning with Mumbai in 1999. Then known as “Overseas Indian Conference,” the primary focus of it was
attracting investment from Indians residing overseas. As India continued its impressive economic growth
post liberalization and began to emerge as potential market for global trade, the IMC took the conference
beyond the shores of India donning new name “India Calling,” beginning with Singapore in 2004. Since then,
it has grown in stature to become its flagship event prominently marked on the calendar of Indian business
community. The subsequent conferences held in Dubai, UK, South Africa, Canada, Belgium and Turkey have
helped bilateral trade by providing interactive platform to businesses in India and host countries.
The current “India Calling” is being held in Vietnam considering India’s ‘Look East’ policy, the commitment at
the highest level of government in India and Vietnam to increase bilateral trade and as an immediate follow
up to the visit of H.E President of Vietnam to India in October 2011.
