A special tribute to print veteran Viren Chabra
80th birthday at Drupa
Messe Düsseldorf organised a special birthday surprise for Viren Chhabra on the second day of the trade fair.
The editor-in-chief and founder of Printing Times and senior director of NPES India Market Access celebrated his 80th birthday with a visit to Drupa. Messe Düsseldorf’s Monika Kissing presented the guest of honour with a marzipan birthday cake at the Drupa Report Daily’s stand. Chhabra, who was accompanied by his wife Rami, has been a Drupa attendee from the very first hour.
In India, Chhabra is seen as the print ambassador who has helped the Indian printing industry take a major step into the future.
