 A Great Learning
Experience
The CeraGlass 2010 was a great learning experience for me.
The trade fairs like this give a great opportunity to the students
to know about the different industries. This trade fair enriched
my knowledge about the ceramics industry. I also worked as a
volunteer in the trade fair. It was a great knowledgeable
experience. We got to an opportunity to interact to various
exhibitors from abroad as well as from different parts of our
country also.

The fair not only promoted the major business houses but also
gave a platform to various small entrepreneurs to showcase
their ability, their businesses, for eg. The trade fair gave an
opportunity to Mr. Murtaza Hasan and Mr. Taushif Ahmed(MBA
III SEM. GIT) to advertise their fragrance business. They also
bought a stall in the fair and got the opportunity to interact to
the various eminent delegates from different parts of the
country and the world. The fair helped them to advertise their
Afifa Fragrance.

For me being a MBA student the fair was an exciting experience

• It gave me an opportunity to meet different professionals

from different regions of India and Abroad.
• As I also worked as a volunteer there, it gave me a
practical experience about how to manage things with
different people.
