The three-day event The G.S.A. India @75 Expo 2022 commenced on December 15, 2022 at the Sheraton Hotel in Lisle/Naperville to highlight how India has changed through growth and development as one of the top global economies since gaining independence in 1947.

This one-of-a-kind Expo brought together ANCIENT INDIA and NEW INDIA on a single stage with a vibrant trade show, meaningful daily workshops, informative plenary sessions on investment opportunities in Indian states, and a rich cultural extravaganza of dance, music, chanting, meditation in various forms, as well as talks on the science of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Vaastu.

Somnath Ghosh, the Consul General of India in Chicago, and Congressman Danny K. Davis launched the Expo in the presence of several local dignitaries, including political and community leaders.

The Global Eye G.S.A. India @75 Expo 2022 had the slogan “MADE IN INDIA – MADE FOR THE WORLD” as its theme. This innovative project of the Indian American community in the Chicago aims to engage the American mainstream society, strengthen ties between India and the US, promote Indo-US trade, highlight India’s contributions to American industry and research and vice versa, educate the next generation, and enlighten the world.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs in Delhi, as well as the Indian Council of Cultural Relations, also encouraged and supported the Expo Team. Several Indian MSMEs also took part.

Ananthan Ayyasamy, a Tenakasi resident who came from humble beginnings to become a Silicon Architect and is currently the State Vice President of the Tamil Nadu BJP OOSTD Cell, received the “PRIDE OF INDIA” honour from US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, US House Representative for Illinois’ 7th District Rep. Danny K. Davis, and Congressman-elect Jonathan Jackson of Illinois’ 1st Congressional District during the expo. The GlobalEye magazine chose him for the honour.

Ananthan Ayyasamy stated at the expo, “There has never been a better time for the slogan “MADE IN INDIA – MADE FOR THE WORLD” than now, with India and Prime Minister Modi going to lead the G20. India now has a 3.3 trillion-dollar economy.”

Talking about India-US relations, he stated, “India exports approximately 420 billion, with America being the largest export partner. India’s third largest import partner is the United States. The most start-ups in the world. However, India lacks capital, which is impeding growth. It is about collective opportunity for the entire world, not just India. Bring your resources to India and make the world flourish.”

Sridhar Vembu, CEO of Zoho, shared in his Twitter account,” Congratulations Ananthan. You are truly the PRIDE OF INDIA! Ananthan rose from very humble rural roots in Tenkasi to great heights as a semiconductor architect and businessman in America and has entered politics in India to serve our society. I am truly privileged to know him.”
