On Wednesday, October 24th 2012, the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce – Young Professionals Committee (ICCC-YP) kicked off its 'Chai with CEO' series at the The Host Indian Cuisine restaurant in the heart of Toronto’s Yorkville district.
ICCC-YP was thrilled to host Satish Kanwar, one of the founders of Jet Cooper, an up-and-coming user design experience agency that specializes in creating spiffy applications for the web, mobile, and tablet environments.
Satish is an active member of the technology, design and the start-up community, and he is the Co-Organizer of Lean Coffee Toronto –a peer group of over 800 entrepreneurs –that provides a platform for discussing lean start-up methodologies.
But that’s not all, Satish also manages to serve as an Advisor (and previous Co-Chair) to TEDxToronto, the leading ideas conference for the City’s foremost thought leaders.
Satish was introduced to the audience by Heena Sethi, the Event Planning Coordinator with ICCC-YP, who recognized his achievements in the most personal and humorous manner.
Oeishi Bhattacharjee, one of the Co-Chairs of the ICCC-YP Committee and MC for the evening, said that the main objective of this event was to highlight the emerging entrepreneurs and leaders of the Indo-Canada community and to provide inspiration to like-minded young professionals.
She also remarked at the auspiciousness of the Chai with CEO event coinciding with Dussehra.
