• A comment from the Fidel team about the main objective of inviting them to India.
Fidel is working for the last 15 years to bring Japanese and Indian people, businesses together. We believe that both countries can come together to explore mutual advantages. This is a win-win situation for both.
In these efforts, we are actively participating in a student exchange program. There is low awareness about India as a country in Japanese people. They have heard about only a few things about India and their perception does not match the current status of our country. The objective of this program is to make Japanese students aware of India as a country and its rich tradition. We help these students in all respect to make their stay fruitful. Students go back with a very good image and memories of India.
