With the theme “Protein, Purpose, and Progress,” we highlighted our shared mission to accelerate self-reliance and inclusivity in poultry.
Honoring Shri Bahadur Ali, Founder & MD of IB Group, was a proud moment, acknowledging his pivotal role in shaping the Poultry India Expo. We also felicitated Ms. Zoya Afreen Alam, Mr. Zeeshan Ali, and Shri Sultan Ali for their exceptional contributions.
