, noted industrialist, said, "Nana Bandekar has been a friend of three generations of Dempos. I admire his entrepreneurial guts and unwavering commitment. It is commendable that he has expanded his business not just in India but worldwide."
The most interesting speech of the evening was delivered by another industrialist, Anil Counto, who recounted many instances from his association with Bandekar over more than 40 years. Counto recalled, "In the early 1970s, when I had just started my business, I had no finance. During that time, Nana Bab wanted to get iron ore jetties constructed. I said that I can build the jetties, but I don't have finance and I need 25% mobilisation advance. Despite that, Nana Bab showed confidence in me and I constructed the jetties."
Bandekar is the immediate past president of Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI). His felicitation was co-hosted by GCCI, GSIA (Goa Small Industries Association), CII (Confederation of Indian Industry)'s Goa unit, CREDAI (Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India)-Goa.
Sandip Bhandare, president, GCCI, said, "My association with Nana Bab started in 2005 and I will always remember him for his generosity. He donated Rs 50 lakhs for GCCI and that's why chamber's office looks so nice."
