The channel community in Uttar Pradesh has come up with a state level
association named as Uttar Pradesh Computer Dealers Association (UPCDWA), with
1500 members spanning from the entire state including members and non-members of
regional associations.
The association is headed by Rohit Kohli as President and Yogendra Dixit as
Senior VP. There are eight VPs who are the presidents of their respective
regional associations that include Vivek Chandra, Gautam Chandra, Ajay Grover,
Sanjay Gupta, Arun Bhargava, Shivshankar, Sanjay Aggarwal and Sharavan Mehrotra.
Manish Mehrotra is the Secretary of the association.
According to the members of the association, they were planning to form an
association for the entire state for the last three years and were very excited
about its formation.
Kohli expressed that the main objective behind forming this association was
to have a joint body where any issue from any region can be easily raised and
heard by everybody.
We wanted a centralized body that regulates all the issues and dealers find a
convenient platform for placing their problems. There are often issues related
to inter-cities and hence the need for a joint body led to form this
association, expressed Kohli.
Members of the association stated that since UP is such a vast state with
varied people with their multiple issues, there was a need of a centralized body
to connect everybody.
This association ensures a streamlined connectivity where all the partners
are inter-related and it gives them an opportunity to represent themselves on
business as well as personal front, expressed Mehrotra.
Mehrotra further pointed that at present, the main objective of the
association is to develop unity and feeling of oneness among entire members so
as to face all the issues collectively. Since this is the first year of
association, we are aiming to develop unity as the foundation stone so that any
members of any region come forward and render its full fledged support to
others, he said.
As per the structuring of the association, any member for any issue need to
report to his respective vice president who will bring the matter to the center. Page(s) 1
