After a year full of extensive planning with emphasis on the minutest of details, the 32nd International Publishers Congress finally took off on a high note! It’s overwhelming to see a plethora of publishers and stakeholders from around the world gathered at one platform to exchange ideas, concerns and remedies.

With nearly 300 delegates participating, the hall was buzzing with excitement, and I, on the other hand, was thrilled and nervous at the same time. Thrilled with the positive feedback I received. And nervous, as it was not just my name or FIP at stake, but also the reputation of India and Indian publishers as a whole. We, as a team at FIP, had put in our hearts and minds to bring out the best we could offer. And I’m more than glad we pulled it off well. Yes we did! That feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction is priceless.

One of the most heartwarming moments I experienced was my speech at the conclusion of the event.Will certainly cherish this moment for the rest of my life!
