4. President’s Message The primary objective of the Global India Business Forum has always been to assist MSME entrepreneurs not only in India but throughout the world. Sangli, Satara, Karad, Kolhapur are the most important region for agriculture sector which includes sugar, textiles and also automated sector like casting of vehicles like two wheelers and four wheelers. These districts are considered to be the most important part of Maharashtra since it has the greatest number of MSME businesses. Global India Business Forum's aim is to highlight the opportunities in different countries and to help the Indian businessmen to track and expand their business globally. Indians often have knowledge about only few countries in general but there exists a lot more countries having huge opportunities for business. If we consider Africa, Ethiopia is the second largest country in terms of its population and economy. Talking about the Caribbean region, seventeen countries do have huge business opportunities in there. Indonesia and Egypt share a friendly bond with Global India Business Forum when it comes to businesses in these countries. So, this is when we step in and guide all the businessmen from MSME sectors of India to connect with these countries. To explain how MSME sector forms to be the backbone of any developed/developing country I would like to add that following the defeat in World War II, Germany was stripped of its gains. It still stood back on its feet and the reason being having its strong and capable MSME sector to fall back on. Global India Business Forum also had the opportunity to interact with the Cabinet Minister of MSME sector and Indian Politician Mr. Narayan Rane on how to expand this concept and to move forward with this cause to give tremendous business opportunity to Indian Businessmen nationally and internationally. The objective of this award function is to recognize businessmen who have fought against all odds of the pandemic and have emerged victorious. I would like to give my heartiest congratulations to all the winners for the exceptional work they've done all year. I would also like to encourage all businessmen to keep on working hard and keep up the great work! Dr. Jitendra Joshi Global President Global India Business Forum 4

Thanks to its strategic location at the crossroad of Africa, Europe and the Arab world, to its political and economic stability in a world full of challenges, Morocco enjoys the trust of foreigners from all over the globe who consider the Kingdom as a safe place to visit, to live in, where to do business and to invest. Global India Business forum is proud to associate with and offer honorary Membership to The Ambassador of Embassy of Morocco H.E. Mr. Mohammed Maliki. According to the recent “World Bank Ease of Doing Business report”, Morocco has moved from the rank 60th to the 53th and the objective of the Moroccan Government is to be among the top 50 economies in the world. 11

12. Recently, Morocco launched its national brand for investment and export promotion in order to create visibility and enhance attractiveness with a distinctive value proposition. This brand is called “Morocco Now”. “Morocco Now” is defined as the future proof platform to invest and export to the world. This definition is based on 4 main assets, which are: Sustainable, Competitive, Agile and Well Proven. Adding these advantages to the unique access to a market of 1 billion consumers – facilitated by the Kingdom's strategic location – is placing Morocco on the top list of the world's most competitive investment destinations The “Agile” Morocco Morocco – its economy, its business community and environment as well as its workforce – has the capacity to quickly adapt to new situation as demonstrated during the Covid-19 pandemic while industrial capacities quickly shifted to health equipment. The best rolling out of the anti-Covid vaccination is also one of the amazing examples of the Moroccan agility. The “Sustainable” Morocco This refers to a green production system and a solid resilient ground. Morocco offers low carbon productions, based on pioneer investments in renewable energies. Since 2009, massive investments in Renewable Energies have been made in Morocco which makes the Kingdom as 1st producer of renewable energies in Africa with a 4GW of installed capacity in 2021. The country covers already 37% of its installed electricity capacity with renewable energies in 2020 and targets 52% by 2030. This agility – which is in the DNA of Moroccans – can be seen in dynamic, competitive and qualified labor force. The authorities have worked on educating, developing and making available top quality human resources in the Kingdom. This avant-garde renewable plan, positions Morocco as one of the most competitive low-carbon platforms in the globe with world class infrastructure in solar, wind and Hydro. Moreover, producing in Morocco for European Union (EU), United States of America (USA), Africa or United Kingdom (UK) minimizes carbon footprint due to reduced distances. As an illustration, RENAULT Tangier – the biggest automotive plant in Africa, manufacturing 400,000 cars a year – is a great example of a zero-emission factory. The “Competitive” Morocco Morocco is one of the most attractive platforms in the world combining low costs with a world-class infrastructure, a young and qualified workforce, and an investors' supportive framework. As part of a strong vision, Morocco was since long committed to free trade and signed up to many Free Trade Agreements giving access to more than 50 countries in Europe, USA, UK and Africa markets. Morocco is one of only 8 countries with duty free access to the USA, EU+UK, and it is the only one in Africa. Morocco is also an ideal export platform to serve Europe and USA. Europe is only 14 kms away from the Kingdom allowing delivery in 1 to 2 days and North America and UAE are at 7 hours flight only. 12

13. The “Well Proven” Morocco Moreover, Morocco has emerged as a prime aeronautics platform with an annual growth rate of 20% over the last years with a 38% rate of local integration. This is referring to a successful track record illustrated by emblematic examples such as the Moroccan Tangier-Med port which is the largest trans-shipment port in the Mediterranean and in Africa – with a 9 million containers capacity – allowing companies to address 186 ports in 77 countries. The country is ranked among the world's most dynamic aeronautics and aerospace ecosystems with a diversified and highly integrated supply chain including aeronautic equipment, aero- structures and engine parts, machining, electrical wiring, special processes, sheet metal works and engineering. The other big achievement is that Morocco joined, since November 2018, the high speed club – the club of countries having the High Speed Trains. Today, Morocco is the first Arab and African country to have this world class railway's infrastructure and equipment, used by more than 3 million passengers. Top Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) such as Airbus, Boeing, Pilatus, Embraer, Sukhoi and Comac are using parts produced in Morocco and many key industry players have built successful long-term partnerships in the kingdom like Spirit AeroSystems, SABCA, Safran, Stelia, Collins Aerospace, Daher, Hexcel and Eaton. The Well Proven asset can also be seen in the success stories of the fastest growing clusters in Morocco such as automotive and aeronautics. In a fast-changing world economy where companies are facing new kind of challenges due to the global value chains reorganization and climate emergency, Morocco emerges as the agile and well-prepared decarbonized production platform open to the world. “NOW” is the right time for investors to join the attractive and competitive hub and platform in the world which is Morocco. It is indeed the right time for the business communities, the Indian one in particular, to experience Morocco which is definitely a stable and trusted gateway to more than 1 billion consumers in Africa, Europe, UK and USA. Nowadays, number of Indian businessmen and companies are aware of the benefit of investing in Morocco and consider it as a safe place to invest keeping in mind the great progress that the kingdom has made during the last two decades. The Moroccan auto sector has experienced phenomenal growth +30% since 2011. This momentum was primarily driven by some big world players that have chosen Morocco as a base such as RENAULT followed by STELLANTIS. Today, with 250 automotive companies already operational in the kingdom covering the whole value chain, Morocco's automotive sector has an installed capacity procuring 700,000 cars which places the Kingdom as TOP1 in Africa. Nowadays, RENAULT NISSAN exports from Morocco to More than 70 countries and STELLANTIS started production with a local content of 60%. Official figures put Morocco's auto export production at USD 8,3 billion. The country becomes the 2nd exporter to the EU of new vehicles. 13

LEADING GEARBOX MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN SATARA….!!! Today, Satara is recognized as a prominent manufacturing hub with various reputed companies operating their manufacturing base here. One of the most crucial reasons for Satara's growth as a manufacturing hub include low operating costs as compared to the neighbouring Pune, and Kolhapur, and the availability of space in and around the city. Recently, there has been a considerable increase in the number of planetary gearbox manufacturers in Satara. Today, the market consists of 17-20 gearbox manufacturers of varying business volumes, market share and manufacturing capabilities. Now, competition as substantial as 20 manufacturers may present consumers a wide range of choice to select from. However, it also brings some challenges. One of the basic challenges is approach. An Onboarding client on the basis of reduced costs, instead of quality is among the most popularly adopted approaches to counter competition. Initially, although it helps consumers benefit on the cost part, it can bring quality, maintenance and operational challenges in the long run. So, to avoid the above quality, efficiency, and operation-related issues, and save costs in the long run, you need a partner like Top Gear Transmission. 34
