Another industrialist said, “I am here with a trading opportunity through which I can make people, particularly women stand on their own feet.”

Expressing his desire to do something for Odisha, another industrialist said, “I am working for recruitment in the fields of IT and non-IT. I have attended such type of programme for the first time. Being an Odia, I have always been dreaming to set up an office in Odisha.”

“We have offices at nine places. I am living in Mumbai and my head office is based in Delhi. I want to do something for Odisha. We want to set up a plant of medical equipment. We are here with a target of Rs 10,000 crore,” another industrialist observed.   

The Chief Minister along with these industrialists will hold a roadshow which will also be attended by Industries Minister Sampad Swain and senior officers from the state.
