Dear Dr. Bhatia,

I truly want to take the time to offer you huge congratulations on a superbly high quality event last week in Mumbai. The organisation, quality of program, precision of execution and more importantly the value in supporting transfer of learning between HR professionals was truly impressive. I commend and admire your work. Thank you for the invitation to be part of it, to contribute and for your formal recognition of my work.

Aasif: I thank you also for your support in the planning. It made the difference from other similar global forums I've attended. The work in the background is always seen by the HR professionals !

With sincere appreciation for all that World HRD Congress 2018 brought to me personally and professionally.

Warmest Regards

- Sharon Looney, Chief Human Resources Officer, CHRO

Raju,

Now that I am back in the UK I wanted to write to you to thank you for inviting me to attend last week's congress in Mumbai. I thoroughly enjoyed being there and meeting so many enthusiastic and interesting people. Now that we have typed up the contact list of people we met we have found that there were people from 23 countries we spoke to, from as far afield as Canada and Australia!

I am well aware of the tremendous effort that goes into organising events like this, not mention the effort of then getting people to attend, so it is not light praise when I say that I thought you and your staff laid on an amazing event.

I had been contacted by a few people before the event as they had seen my name as a previous award winner, and contacted me to ask whether I thought it was a worthwhile event. I am delighted to say that those people were delighted they had attended and told me that they were planning to come again next year.

I mentioned to you that I was in India before the congress began to train some people as MyBrain Practitioners. It is still early days for us in India but now that we have people on the ground working with us I am hopeful that it will begin to show steady growth. This is something I have you to thank for as it was at the congress last year that I met Shekhar Manelkar, who is now our representative in India.

Anyway, thank you again to you and your team for you hospitality and professionalism, and if there is anything I can do to help you at any time please let me know.

Best wishes

- Alistair Schofield, Director, MyBrain International Limited

Dear Dr. Bhatia,

Now that I've returned home, I would like to thank you again for a wonderful conference and for all your "passionate" efforts to make it happen.

Thank you for organizing such an interesting conference, and being a great host.

Philimon Chitagu

Greetings Dr Bhatia,

Congratulations for organizing a successful 26th Edition of World HRD Congress. All the proceedings passed the test and the team from Africa was very happy and I expect a large number of delegates from Africa which will attend the 27th edition of World HRD Congress.

I also want to thank you on behalf of Africa and indeed on my behalf for according me the opportunity to issue Top 100 Most Influential Global HR Practitioners Awards at such an electric occasion. I felt humbled and greatly honoured to award fellow HR Practitioners the awards. Forever, I will always remember such an event and honour.

Secondly, being part of HR leaders in Africa and participation in lighting the candles, cutting of the cake by Africa to mark the start of the World HRD Congress event on the 15th of February 2018, was superb. Thank you very much and on behalf of Africa, we feel proud to be part of this memorable event. Thank you to your professional backroom staff as well.

We expect a large number in 2019. May God bless you!!

Regards,

- Philimon Chitagu (CHRPG)
