"It's by working together that we can make our community rise and shine," Gupta said.

He was addressing members of the Indian community at an Open House event of the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce. The event was organized at the Hilton Garden Inn in Mississauga, a part of the chain of Easton's Group's hotels.

The Open House event attracted several residents of the Peel region. Many of them became members of the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce during the event.

Asha Luthra, President of the ICCC, emphasized some of the recent achievements of the chamber.

"Our chamber has actively participated in the formation of the Greater Toronto Business Alliance, an alliance that involves the Chinese, the Italian and the Portuguese chambers of commerce," Luthra said.

She also informed the audience that the Chamber had recently signed an MoU with Commonwealth Canada. "It'll create more impact for India's effort to sell the Commonwealth Games next year."

Imtiaz Seyid, Director of Membership and Advocacy, explained the value of membership to the audience. "We focus on business, knowledge, and social parameters. Once you become our member, we will constantly engage you and always promote your interests."
