The US-India Chamber of Commerce (USICOC) celebrated a landmark achievement with its 25th Annual Awards Banquet on Dec.11. Drawing a record-breaking crowd of over 800 attendees from more than 80 companies across industries, the sold-out event marked the Chamber’s largest gathering in its history.
The evening featured US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma as the keynote speaker, who emphasized the enduring partnership between the United States and India. Joining him were D.C. Manjunath, Consul-General of India in Houston, and Dr. Ajay Kumar, Minister (Commerce) at the Embassy of India in Washington, D.C. Together, they highlighted the growing significance of bilateral trade and investment between the two nations.
“Our 25th Annual Awards Banquet was a true celebration of the Chamber’s legacy and our shared commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering meaningful connections between the United States and India,” said Raj Daniels, President of USICOC. “The exceptional participation of our speakers and attendees made this milestone event truly unforgettable. We look forward to continuing to build on this success for years to come.”
A major highlight of the evening was an engaging CEO Panel Discussion featuring Alok Maskara, CEO of Lennox International, and Megha Tolia, former President and COO of Shondaland. Their candid conversation provided valuable insights into leadership, innovation, and navigating the complexities of the global business landscape.
The event commemorated the Chamber’s 25-year journey of fostering business ties, supporting professional growth, and driving economic development in the Dallas-Fort Worth region and beyond.
