CHICAGO: Andrew Spinelli of World Business Chicago and Smita N. Shah of the Delhi Committee of Chicago Sister Cities International hosted a business meeting with Ambassador Arun Singh.
Over 40 organizations were in attendance, ranging from large multinational companies, to small and medium sized enterprises.
The event was hosted at the Art Institute of Chicago by Director Douglas Druiker. The Art Institute just completed a 4 year initiative with India’s Ministry of Culture to expand the program of Indian Arts.
At the end of the program, Ms. Shah presented the Ambassador with the book, East Meets West, about Swami Vivekananda’s world renowned trip to Chicago in 1893 for the World’s Columbian Exposition.
“In 1893, the world came to Chicago to showcase the latest advances in science, technology, and engineering, but recognized the importance of including a cultural component by hosting the Parliament of World Religions. It is appropriate that the business meeting is concluded with a presentation of a book remembering Swami Vivekananda at the location where he gave his remarks,” noted Niranjan S.
Shah, vice chairman of the Delhi Committee.
