Dear Sirs, At the outset we thank you for patronizing the FINVEST ’10 exhibition organized between February 20, 2010 to February 23, 2010 at Maratha Mandir, Near Railway Over Bridge, Belgaum. It was very unfortunate that all of us in Belgaum lost three/four precious days in the last week due to the BUNDH call given by some organizations as well as due to FESTIVAL and WEEKLY Holidays, because of which all the activities in the City came to a literal standstill. As a result many of the FINSERVE Organizations viz. Banks, Insurance Companies, Mutual Fund Companies, Share Brokering Agencies, etc. who are interested in participating in FINVEST ’10, the exclusive exhibition meant only for the Financial Services Companies, could not follow up with their Higher Authorities to get the formal approval for participation in FINVEST ’10, in time. During our interaction with some such FINSERVE Organizations in the last few days we understood that many such Organizations are very much interested in participating in FINVEST ’10 but are awaiting the approval from their higher authorities. The FINVEST ’10 exhibition as you are aware is to commence within two days from now and we have already spent on the promotional activities such as News Paper Advertisements, Display of Hoardings and Banners at prime locations in the city, Printing of Informative Leaflets, etc. For want of sufficient time it is practically difficult for the FINSERVE Organizations to prepare and participate in the exhibition even if they receive the approval now. At the same time it is very difficult for us to organise the event in the scale in which it is planned unless we have sufficient time and full support of the participants. Considering all these facts and the availability of venue, your work pressure of year end closure, statutory audit, etc. we have decided to postpone the dates of FINVEST ’10 exhibition and the new dates shall be from May 8, 2010 to May 11, 2010. We are confident of your fullest support to the decision we have taken in mutual interest. However, we express our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to many of those who have already booked the Stall, Banner Space, Hoarding, etc. The bookings already received by us till date will be held valid for the postponed event and others who have yet not booked the stalls may do so on or before April 25, 2010. However, we request you to book the stall immediately to avoid last minute rush. With very kind regards, Yours truly, for The Belgaum Chamber of Commerce & Industries, Jaideep Siddannavar Chairman, Exhibition Committee. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY FINVEST'10 ? Banking and Financial services form the core of the economic structure of a Country. With the liberalization of the economy and restrictions easing out, has led to increasing competition, which has in turn resulted in new business opportunities. Within the context of these developments, the Banking and Financial Institutions have become important pillars to strengthen our economy.
The improvement in the quality of life, the rising affluence and better education has resulted in a new generation of customers whose financial requirements are becoming increasingly more sophisticated. This has resulted in a major reorientation of the banking and financial institutions to become customer driven and to become more focussed on customer needs.
While the customer needs to become more informed, financial service providers, the regulators and the authorities have an important role to provide the enabling and conducive environment that nurtures customer empowerment. Indeed, customer empowerment begins with financial awareness and customer education. This in part can be achieved through greater disclosure and Credit Counselling. Thereby enhancing their ability to make informed financial decisions. With this need in mind the THE BELGAUM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRIES has organised FINVEST’10 EXHIBITION, First of its kind in Belgaum.
