In addition to directing AGS Movers’ branch network in India, Payal already dedicates a significant amount of her time to giving back to the international moving industry.

For example, she currently also serves as the President of FIDI India; the Vice President of the Indo-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry; and the Vice Chair of the European Business Group in Delhi.

“I am thrilled to have been appointed as a FIDI Trainer: I feel privileged to be able to share my knowledge and experience with other young professionals in the industry!” says Payal enthusiastically.

“I also consider this a special opportunity to learn even more than what I have over the past 19 years of being in the industry.”

An early task for Payal in this new role will be to travel to South Africa in September, where she will offer training at one of the FIDI Academy’s upcoming ‘Essentials in Moving’ (EiM) seminars – coincidentally to be hosted at AGS Movers Johannesburg’s premises.

Payal will also deliver industry training online and contribute to the development of topical training courses and updating existing FIDI Academy course material. Online training is delivered through FIDI Academy’s ‘webinar’ (web seminar) system, with practical topics ranging from freight forwarding to client surveys and move planning.

“I do consider this as an honour and will ensure that I live up to the expectations of the FIDI Academy,” promises Payal.

AGS wishes her all the best!

Although second hand, these books are in perfect condition and are donated by French libraries or individuals. The French association sends these books to schools, associations or libraries, upon request. In 2009, more than 110,000 books were shipped around the world.

The AGS Movers Bangalore branch organised everything from clearance to delivery of thousands of books to the final destination in the Karnataka state, where Bangalore Alliance Française has recently opened several centres in Mysore, Mangalore, and Manipal, and soon in Belgaum. The Alliance Française is a network of teaching and learning centres devoted to the promotion of French language and culture.

AGS Movers Bangalore is pleased to have participated in this operation and to support the development of foreign culture in Bangalore.
