MIND TREE
Q-and-A
The incidences of terrorist activities have noticeably been on the rise in the last few months with
Europe facing the major brunt. Many international fairs are scheduled over the next few months… Do
you think that this will have a major impact on visitations and even participation? Will business in the
year ahead be impacted by these uncertainties and fears?
