A BRIEF HISTORY OF ORBIT: A zealous Indian duo Mr. Om Prakash and Mr. V. K.

Vikamsey attended an international trade fair in Germany known as Drupa the world's leading Printing Industry trade fair at Dusseldorf in 1972, where of the 3 lakh international visitors, the Indian representation was only of 25 businessmen . This number rose to 50 in Drupa'77, and on this second visit, the two like-minded visionaries envisaged a tremendous marketing potential. They felt that those Indians who did not attend the fair had missed a great opportunity. Mr. Om Prakash and Mr. Vikamsey were quick to capitalise on this fact and set about promoting their organized maiden tour of "Interpack" in Dusseldorf the worlds largest packaging trade fair comprising of 40 members. Thus, the seeds for a highly professional and successful enterprise were sown. In 1978, the company ORBIT was launched, an acronym for Organizers of Business and Industrial Tours. Sensing their dynamism the Indo-German Chamber Of Commerce offered to extend full support. This enabled the duo to make greater strides and the rest is history. At present it has offices and representations from length to breadth of the country with its corporate establishment in Mumbai and enjoys a dedicated and devoted work force of more than 600 persons. THE ACHIEVEMENTS In its more than 25 years of successful existence ORBIT has been recognized as the leader in Business Travel. Germany recognized the valuable and exceptional contribution of ORBIT and has awarded the prestigious IndoGerman Award thrice (1985, 1995 and 1999) for fostering economic ties between the two nations. Having a distinction, ORBIT is the only service organization which has won this award three times. The organization has also received similar recognition from UK, USA and Singapore. The government of Texas, USA has honored Mr. Om Prakash, director of the organization by providing him the honorary citizenship of the state of Texas and the state of Arkansas-USA designated him as honorary ambassador of goodwill. He has also been awarded the Marshall of Oklahama territory in USA.

INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT ORBIT is enjoying the co-operation and support of various Export Promotion Councils, Bilateral Chamber of Commerce and Bodies, Industries, Trade Associations, F.I.E.O. and Indian Trade Promotion Organization and thus established the fact that the participation in trade fairs are the most cost effective and advanced marketing weapon to witness the world's latest technologies that helps Indian business for globalization and to enhance Indian export.
