I am delighted to share a significant milestone for our association. The Indian Association of Amusement Parks and Industries (IAAPI) family has officially grown to 630 members!
A Reflection of Industry Faith & Policy Advocacy
This achievement represents more than just a headcount; it mirrors the robust expansion of the Indian amusement sector itself.
Reaching this number is a direct vote of confidence in IAAPI’s mission. It demonstrates the growing faith that both the Government and our industry stakeholders have in our association. It validates our relentless efforts in policy advocacy and the strength of our connections, which are crucial for shaping a favorable environment for our businesses to thrive.
Connected at Every Level
One of IAAPI’s greatest strengths is our ability to stay deeply connected to our members. Through the dedicated leadership of our Regional and State Chairmen, we maintain a "micro-focus" that ensures every member—regardless of their location—is heard and supported. This decentralized approach allows us to address local challenges while driving a unified national vision.
A Team Effort
Growth requires vision and execution. I want to extend a massive congratulations to our *Membership Committee* for their hard work in bringing us to this point.
A special note of appreciation goes to:
Mr. Maneesh Verma (2nd Vice Chairman & Membership Chairman)
Mr. Surender Malik (Vice Chairman)
Your leadership has been instrumental. I also want to acknowledge the *IAAPI Secretariat*, whose unwavering support and backend coordination have provided the solid foundation needed for this success.
Looking Ahead to the Expo
With the IAAPI Amusement Expo just around the corner, our sights are set even higher. We are aggressively moving towards an even bigger milestone before and during the show, proving that the Indian amusement sector is more organized and vibrant than ever before.
Here is to the next milestone!
Ankur Maheshwary
Chairman, IAAPI
