Representatives from numerous businesses, Montgomery College and government entities returned last weekend from an eight-day trade mission to India sponsored by the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development.

The trip was a success, said Jack Hollerbach, president and CEO of HarVest Bank of Maryland in Rockville. He said the meetings with business, political and educational leaders in India would increase business development opportunities and help attract more Indian-owned companies to the county. The delegation’s itinerary included New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Haryana.
