Addressing the trade during the inaugural ceremony Colin Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, said, “The first edition of IIJS Virtual saw a record 10000+ visitors and we reported a business turnover of around Rs 1000 Crore. This surely has set a benchmark for us and our expectations from the second edition are high and we expect it to surpass the business generated in the first edition.”
