#First Opinion
“Deal with someone you can trust. This is the TAAI Credo. At its heart are values of peace, empathy, kindness, and service—principles that guide us toward better living. When these qualities of goodness are embraced by business leaders and reflected in their acts of giving, they create more than success—they help build a world of value, free from conflicts, prejudices, and divisions. Our speakers at the 68th TAAI Convention koi will highlight these very aspects, sharing insights that will truly benefit our delegates. And that is why this year’s theme is – “Business with Goodness.”
Sunil Kumar,
President, TAAI
