Testimonials

I greatly enjoyed participating in the Conference, which I felt to be an excellent mix of presenters and Chairpersons, very enjoyable and informative, and I am sure all participants benefited greatly from attending. I believe it was one of the best organised Conference I have attended and that the OGTC will continue to be a driving force in the Indian market development when delivering such beneficial activities as this.

Community protests have started influencing the behaviour of corporate decision makers. Responsible profits will have to be the only standard in tomorrow's world. It is believed that sustainability will become a reality .With factors like climate change, resource scarcity and energy prices all contributing to opportunities, the need of the hour it seems is 'ecological capitalism'. While the market for green opportunities is still small, it's definitely one that is growing rapidly. And if some money is made on the way to saving the planet and its people, surely it's alright.?
