According to a release from the organisation, as its first event GOPIO, Bengaluru chapter, will be organising a city-focussed urban infrastructure and public safety summit in the last week of November.
“The summit’s focus will revolve around tackling Bangalore’s pressing infrastructure challenges and exploring viable solutions. An impressive assembly of consulates from different countries will contribute their insights and suggestions to this dialogue. The summit intends to bring the various stakeholders together in a single platform in collaboration with the Government of Karnataka,” said the release.
The GOPIO Bengaluru chapter will serve as a pivotal platform for the global Indian diaspora, amplifying Bengaluru’s unique global standing across various sectors such as IT, Space, Defence, Health, FinTech, and more. “This chapter champions values of inclusivity of Indians around the world, with no biases based on community, caste, creed, color or gender,” the organisation said.
“GOPIO International was established to champion the cause of the Indian diaspora globally, addressing critical issues from immigration to disaster relief assistance.”
