A delegation from GCCI comprising Mr. Chandrakant Gawas (Chairman, GCCI Logistics Committee), Mr. Sanket Kaskar (Foreign Trade Officer), and Mr. Priyesh Kamat met with Shri Brajesh Kumar Upadhyay, Chairman & Managing Director of GSL, to discuss the proposal and map out a collaborative roadmap.
🌟 Key Focus Areas of the Initiative:
- Joint Seminar featuring expert discussions on vendor development challenges and opportunities

- Training & Capacity Building Workshops aligned with GSL’s quality and procurement standards
- Quality & Productivity Promotion through collaborative tools and industrial best practices
- Policy Advocacy & Industry-Academia Linkages to create a robust maritime ecosystem in Goa
The initiative also proposes involving neighbouring Chambers such as the Belgaum Chamber, further enhancing regional cooperation and resource pooling.
