About the new chapter
INZBC Chair, Robert Barker, while giving his opening remarks, introduced the new chapter head, Jay Changlani and gave outlines of the way it will work.
Jay is a Chartered Accountant and a Director of Accounts Icon, Chartered Accounting firm based in Wellington. Jay has more than 10 years of Accounting, forensic accounting and tax experience.
Some of his previous roles include Tax Manager at Grant Thornton and Crowe Horwath (WHK), Tax Investigator at the IRD, Forensic Accountant at McDonald Vague, and Financial Accountant at Flight Centre.
On the relaunch, Jay commented, “Relaunch of Wellington INZBC Chapter was a great success. It was well attended by Govt. officials and local businesses. Personally, I am thankful to INZBC executive team for showing trust in me to Head the Wellington Chapter.”
The Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) had partnered with INZBC to host this event.
Dr Revti Raman, Senior Lecturer—International Business, had given a presentation on INDIA-NZ Institutional Distance, Challenges and Mindset Adaptation. This was based on a recent study he had conducted.
VUW achieves its strategic theme to enable NZ as an Asia-Pacific trading nation by producing high-quality research, employing strategic staff in the Asia business research arena and contributing expertise on advisory panels and institutes.
One of their key employees in this space Siah Hwee Ang (the Bank of New Zealand Chair in Business in Asia) explains:
“India is a key part of Victoria University of Wellington’s strategic theme to enable NZ as an Asia-Pacific trading nation. In my role, I also engage with NZ businesses seeking advice on business interactions in and with India. India must not be left out of our sights.”
When we consider New Zealand India business dynamics Siah explains the relevance of Revti Raman’s work for the India New Zealand Education Council:
“While sharing historical ties, India and NZ businesses continue to face cross-border institutional environment challenges in their engagements. This project enhances our understanding in this arena, and reflects on Victoria University of Wellington’s strategic theme to enable New Zealand as an Asia-Pacific trading nation.”
Mr Anthony also announced some new initiatives taken by INZBC, more details of which will be announced later, which include MOU’s with Field Days and the Haryana government entity HSIIDC.
On receiving feedback from the industry, INZBC along with NZTE are launching The India Unplugged series with AJ Park leading patent attorneys, starting on March 30, which will be inaugurated by the Ex-Foreign Affairs Minister of Government of India.
