This will be held in a virtual ceremony that will also have the senior officials, coming from UAE, India and Israel.

Raviv Byron, President of Israel-India Chamber of Commerce said "Tata has done a lot for India-Israel ties. He has generously contributed towards promoting innovation that supports sustainability and has been a promoter of peace in the region, including with the Palestinians. He has visited Israel a few times which has been extremely beneficial in promoting ties between the two countries. He very well deserves this honour,"

For the unversed, ASSOCHAM was established in 1920, by the promoter chambers that represent all the regions of India. It serves 4.5 Lakh members across India, with 400 chambers and trade associations. It also represents trade and commerce in India and works as an interface between issues and initiatives and also reduces trade barriers in both domestic and international trade.
