The Indo-Gulf Middle East Chamber of Commerce (INMECC), a body representing industrialists and professionals, is set to establish a footprint in Palakkad, eyeing opportunities in the Kochi-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor being developed by Kerala Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (KICDC).

“We will honour MSMES and NRIs who are successfully operating in Palakkad’s industrial sector,” said Younus Ahamed, newly elected secretary of INMECC.

INMECC vice-chairman Siddique Ahmed hosted the meeting. Chairman N.M. Sharafudheen presided over the meeting. K.P. Khalid, Cutie group chief executive officer; Vilambath Raveendran, Sinicon chief executive officer; Viswanath N. Subramanian, managing director of Athachi group; Jayasankar T.C., managing director of Jayon Implants; and Mohammed Kassim, former DySP, addressed the meeting.
