The Utkal Chamber of Commerce & Industry (UCCI) organised a motivational speech by Dr GP Rao, founder, GPR HR Consulting LLP and former chief of HR & Management Services, Recron Malaysia, Reliance Group on a topic “Chambers as Change Agents” at its conference hall here on Wednesday.
Dr Rao emphasised the necessity for the chambers to undergo changes in its core functions and live up to the competencies demanded out of it in the ever-changing industrial scenario globally and nationally.
He was of the view that a chamber must act as a one-stop destination for investors in terms of business facilitation, dispute resolution, market research; and it must make all efforts to handhold and facilitate the requirements of startups.
Nearly 100 members of the UCCI representing large, SME, trades and commerce actively participated in this discussion which is expected to pave way for the chamber to reach its objective more effectively.
UCCI president Ramesh Mahapatra chaired the session. Vice-president (Commerce) Ashok Kumar Sharda moderated the event and explained the need for holding such sessions. Vice-president (Industry) Saswata Patnaik proposed a vote of thanks.
Dr GP Rao was felicitated on behalf of the UCCI.
