He is a part of a 48-member Italian delegation which has come to India as part of the Italian Festival sponsored by the Indo Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and ICE(Italian Trade Commission).

Stefano Checchin said, ''India is going through a rapid transformation after opening up of the market in the 1990's.

''If a large company decided to invest in India, not only will this profit the country monetarily but also the people involved will appreciate and inculcate new managerial skills and professional practices,'' he added.
