To transform the Indian economy stronger by making $1 = Re 1, the Chennai Chapter of the Indywood Billionaires Club (IBC), an elite club of billionaires from Tamil Nadu, was inaugurated here on Friday.
Speaking at the inaugural function, IBC founder and NRI entrepreneur Sohan Roy, said, “To realise the IBC’s collective goal of making the Indian Rupee equal to One Dollar, the club has identified major drain holes in the economic bucket of our country which can be only plugged by when EFFISM, a powerful Efficiency Improvement System Management is effectively implemented across all sectors. This innovative tool is an offering of AIMRI, the research and development wing of Aries Group. IBC dreams to encapsulate the entire Billionaire community into this blockchain concept to transform the India with efficient human resources.’’
While addressing the inaugural session of the Chennai chapter, Sohan Roy, Founder Chairman and CEO of ARIES Group of Companies said, “IBC could be a Desi Club with the main aim to make the nation strong and an effective alternative to Lions Clubs and Rotary Clubs which are controlled by someone at international level.”
