The Hindu Business Line : CII agenda for better growth

Coimbatore, May 11 The newly-elected Chairman of CII (Coimbatore zone), Mr C.N. Ashok, expressed the imperative need for industries in this region to scale up in terms of size, turnover and business outlook.

Sharing his views with media persons, Mr Ashok said “There is scope for leveraging competencies, brand equities and capital base to catapult the companies in this region to bigger league.” The CII therefore has set its agenda “on accelerated growth”.

Emphasising the need to scale up for sustainable and inclusive growth, he said “While the model is in place, scaling up has to happen. The CII will work towards this agenda this year.”
