Since its founding, INCHAM has remained committed to promoting economic, cultural, and social cooperation between India and Vietnam.”
Over the years, INCHAM has grown not only as a community of Indian businesses in Vietnam but as a bridge fostering relationships that go beyond commerce into the realms of culture, understanding, and shared goals, he added.

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most significant festivals in India. It celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. The occasion also marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year, and many businesses in India start a new accounting year during the Diwali holiday.
