India Empire organized a quiz on NRIs at the Overseas Indian Facilitation Centre Marketplace at the PBD 2013. The marketplace, located at the heart of the busy PBD exhibit area, welcomed a range of stakeholders, state and knowledge partners, and associates to interact on issues related to overseas Indian queries and facilitation. The OIFC is chaired by the Secretary, Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs, co-chaired by the Director General of the Confederation of Indian Industry and its CEO is drawn from the CII. The OIFC was launched in 2007 by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh at the New Delhi PBD and is a PPP between the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs and the CII. India Empire is a Media Partner of the OIFC, and the quiz at the marketplace was held for the first time ever at any PBD.
