Welcome back, Ritesh. Thanks for sharing those nice pictures. Good to know the two historically important decisions made by the IBC. I am sure you had wonderful time there. It feels good that one of our member friends attended the Congress. Congrats! Thanks also to Balkar ji, Giby, IAAT and Pragya Sourabh for sharing the outcomes of the Congress.
