The annual International Taxation Conference

organizations in India and globally. It is a world class event in
this field that brings world class speakers to Mumbai every year.
It is also a truly international conference with international delegates.
This year we expect over 400 registrations including a large number
of overseas delegates. More importantly, we will have a sizeable

On behalf of all of us, I would like to express my thanks to the
