The job of Discussion Chairs at the GRI is not to talk. It is to make others talk, engage and connect.

On 13 - 14 November 2006, the GRI will bring together in Mumbai the leading Indian and global decision - makers driving the real estate industry for a series of informal and collegial discussions.

Like all GRI meetings, the India GRI will have no speakers and no panelists, just freewheeling conversations in small groups where all present participate.

GRI meetings do not aim to gather the most number of participants, only the most senior. Self - promotion is prohibited.
