Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) will likely have an industrialist as senior vice-president again. By the GCCI constitution, the senior VP becomes president the next year.
Current senior vice-president Sandeep Engineer will thus be president for 2024-25.
Sources say Rajesh Gandhi, MD of Vadilal Industries Ltd, is likely to be senior VP for 2024-25. GCCI members say the body is considering bringing corporate representatives as presidents for at least three years.
Sources said there is no consensus on the VP’s post. Gaurang Bhagat (treasurer), Apurva Shah (secretary), Saurin Parikh (chairman of textile task force), Hiten Vasant (former secretary) and Ankit Patel (chairman of environment committee) are the contenders.
