Winnipeg Businessman Enjoys Long-standing Engagement with India

Hemant Shah, CEO of Winnipeg-based joint-venture company KLR Cubex Indo Canada JV (Cubex India), isn't shy about crediting the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) for his many export successes. The introduction to his current joint-venture partner, in fact, came from the Canadian High Commission (CHC) in New Delhi. And that's neither the beginning nor the end of the story. Shah's connection with TCS in his exporting endeavours to India goes back more than 20 years, and isn't about to stop. With Canada's recent official re-engagement with India, CanadExport is pleased to profile a businessman and business embodying the very kind of relationship the Government is committed to reestablishing and pursuing.
When Hemant Shah emigrated from India in 1978 and settled in Winnipeg, he immediately began to explore opportunities for exporting back to his homeland. Almost from the start he received support from the International Trade Centre (ITC) in Winnipeg. "The trade commissioners I came into contact with then made me the successful businessman I am today," says Shah with complete candour. "Officers such as John Blackwood, Ron Bollman and Graham Weber gave me guidance and moral support." See Full Story
