SCIPA is a nonprofit organization of Southern California Indian 
Professionals which actively promotes business between India and 
the U.S.A. SCIPA has presented several past conferences and 
cosponsored "Software India 89".

Business reform in India has been the subject of recent articles 
in Fortune, Forbes and the Economist magazines, The New York Times, 
The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. Many U.S. companies 
having done their homework are poised to enter or reenter the Indian 
marketplace.

Consider :
----------

*  There are over 250 million middle and upper class buyers in India...
   more than the entire European population combined.

*  There is a large reservoir of English speaking managers and skilled work
   force with scientific and technical expertise, second only to the U.S.A.

*  There is an abundant supply of raw materials.

*  There is tremendous demand for both industrial and consumer goods.

*  Approvals for new business ventures have been reduced from years to as 
   little as 3 months.


The NEW INDIA is open for business. This conference offers significant 
understanding of the opportunities, your company's ability to participate and
methods available to finance these new ventures.

There are two exhibit opportunities for U.S.Companies in New Delhi, India :

	The 10th Indian Engineering Trade Fair organized by CII 
February 14-21, 1993 will have a U.S.A.Pavillion hosted by the U.S.Embassy
featuring U.S.companies and products. This Trade Fair attracts serious
audience participation from all parts of India as well as from neighboring 
countries and will give wide exposure to participants.

	A.S.Bose, Chief Convener for "World Trade Fair", March 18-28, 1993, 
will be attending this October 20, conference accompanied by a high level
Industrial Delegation to promote participation.
