THANK YOU

A big thank you to all our speakers who made valuable and insightful contributions to the India Securities Forum 2008, and we were delighted to see such a great turnout of attendees from all corners of the globe during these tough economic times. It was pretty much a unanimous decision that this was the best event yet in terms of content and speakers, and the level of networking that was apparent.

We would like to thank all our sponsors, especially Citi as Lead Sponsor. Standard Chartered were Co-Sponsor, HSBC were Lunch sponsor and we received additional support from Religare, Broadridge, Channel Island Stock Exchange, Deutsche Boeurse, KPMG, MCX and Euroclear.

We look forward to coming back to Mumbai again next year, and hope to see many new faces and as well as those familiar to the Forum as we look to a brighter 2009 and beyond.

The India Securities Forum Team, December 2008
