Being based in  Calgary, Canada I am wondering whether you could  explore Canada-India trade as an avenue for  networking.

For example Canada has abundant resources in Paper/Pulp; Minerals  such as Potash, Nickel, Palladium; Grains (Dals etc); raw petroleum  products; all which have a big demand in India.

I would be glad to facilitate such contacts if  people are interested.

I have set up a consultancy firm :

for implementing process optimization & I regularly come across Canadian products that are very cost effective but have little exposure in the Indian market.
If anyone is interested in sourcing the items  listed above, I would love to help.
Reliance is also coming to Alberta for the OilSands & it would be great if Parsis got a leg in to this fast expanding market.
