Dear Members,

It gives me immense pride to place on record the key highlights and strategic outcomes of our Biennial Symposium & Annual General Meeting, convened on 19-20 September 2025 at the Hyatt Palace, Aurangabad. This flagship engagement once again reinforced our association's collaborative spirit and its forward-looking mandate. We successfully curated four high-impact Technical Sessions, each delivering actionable insights and industry-aligned knowledge transfer. These sessions created a robust knowledge-sharing ecosystem and set the tone for our capability-building roadmap in the coming cycle.

The forum also witnessed presentations of awards and appreciation, acknowledging exemplary contributions, innovation-driven leadership, and operational excellence within our community. Recognizing merit continues to be a cornerstone of our institutional culture.

The presence of the Hon'ble State Minister along with several distinguished Political Leaders significantly elevated the gravitas of the event. Their participation underscored the sector's strategic importance and the government's commitment to fostering industry growth.

A specially curated Cultural Programme added a vibrant dimension to our networking platform, reinforcing camaraderie and strengthening bonds among members across regions. On 20th September, the Annual General Meeting was conducted with due process. I am honoured to have been reappointed as President.

As we move forward, I encourage all members to participate in large numbers at FCBM's 53rd Conference & Exhibition, scheduled from 20-22 December 2025 at the prestigious Jaypee Palace, Agra. Your presence will be instrumental in driving collective value creation and showcasing the strength of our fraternity.

Best Regards,

Anil S. Loya
President, Wicma
