based out of Dubai. Here in India, we have a law firm. By qualification, I'm a lawyer. I'm dual qualified in India as well as in the UK. So I'm really happy to be here and thank you so much Yogesh and thank you to the embassy for inviting us today. I think sir has already given a very good introduction, but there are certain observations that I sort of carried from Yogesh as well as from some of my own experiences in the last few, I would say months, not years. I've never been to Uzbekistan, but as all of us know, we as Indians have a very strong connection with Uzbekistan and the whole as they call it in Uzbekistan, Timur or as we call it Timur. So they come from that country.

Dubayda joylashgan. Bu yerda, Hindistonda, bizning yuridik firmamiz bor. Mutaxassisligim bo'yicha huquqshunosman. Men ham Hindistonda, ham Buyuk Britaniyada malakaga egaman. Shuning uchun bu yerda bo'lganimdan juda xursandman va Yogeshga hamda bugun bizni taklif qilgan elchixonaga katta rahmat aytaman. O'ylaymanki, janob allaqachon juda yaxshi tanishtiruv qildi, lekin Yogeshdan, shuningdek, so'nggi yillar emas, balki bir necha oylar davomidagi shaxsiy tajribamdan kelib chiqqan ba'zi kuzatishlarim bor. Men O'zbekistonda hech qachon bo'lmaganman, lekin barchamiz bilganimizdek, biz hindlarning O'zbekiston bilan va ular O'zbekistonda Temur yoki biz Temur [noaniq] deb ataydigan inson bilan juda kuchli aloqamiz bor. Shunday qilib, ular o'sha mamlakatdan kelishgan.

базируюсь в Дубае. Здесь, в Индии, у нас есть юридическая фирма. По квалификации я юрист. У меня двойная квалификация — в Индии и в Великобритании. Поэтому я очень рад быть здесь, и большое спасибо, Йогеш, и спасибо посольству за то, что пригласили нас сегодня. Я думаю, сэр уже сделал отличное вступление, но есть определенные наблюдения, которые я вынес из общения с Йогешем, а также из моего собственного опыта за последние, я бы сказал, месяцы, а не годы. Я никогда не был в Узбекистане, но, как все мы знаем, у нас, индийцев, очень прочные связи с Узбекистаном и всей этой историей, как называют его в Узбекистане, Тимур, или как мы его называем, Тимур. Итак, они родом из той страны.

Your excellency companies like LG, Samsung, like other big companies, they have priced the similar kind of product at 69,000. We are selling the same product at 48,000 with a 10 year warranty and they are giving a five year warranty. It will make a huge success. I promise you that because our mentality is very similar. Our people, they don't want to buy expensive things and then tomorrow it breaks. What do you do? Our people prefer to have a cost effective. I mean, as a team Quality, quality also. Quality of course. We don't buy a very cheap one. Initially what happened in the textile industry, they started to buy very, very cheap Chinese manufacturing tools. In two, three years, they realized that it's breaking so much and operational cost is so huge. So they Our mentors are those who have worked with NASA, with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, with IIT. They are all top IITs who are driving this. Please, please. As we see the IT

Janobi oliylari, LG, Samsung kabi kompaniyalar va boshqa yirik kompaniyalar shunga o'xshash mahsulotni 69 000 ga baholashgan. Biz xuddi shu mahsulotni 10 yillik kafolat bilan 48 000 ga sotyapmiz, ular esa besh yillik kafolat berishmoqda. Bu ulkan muvaffaqiyat bo'ladi. Sizga va'da beramanki, bizning mentalitetimiz juda o'xshash. Bizning odamlarimiz qimmat narsa sotib olib, ertaga u buzilib qolishini xohlashmaydi. Nima qilasiz? Bizning odamlarimiz tejamkorlikni afzal ko'rishadi. Ya'ni, jamoa sifatida Sifat, sifat ham. Albatta, sifat. Biz juda arzonini sotib olmaymiz. Dastlab to'qimachilik sanoatida nima sodir bo'ldi — ular juda arzon Xitoy ishlab chiqarish uskunalarini sotib olishni boshlashdi. Ikki-uch yil ichida ular bu uskunalar juda ko'p buzilayotganini va operatsion xarajatlar juda katta ekanligini tushunishdi. Shuning uchun ular Bizning ustozlarimiz NASA, Bhabha atom tadqiqot markazi, IIT bilan ishlagan mutaxassislardir. Bularning barchasini boshqarayotganlar eng nufuzli IIT vakillaridir. Marhamat, marhamat. IT sohasini ko'rib turganimizdek

Ваше превосходительство, такие компании, как LG, Samsung, как другие крупные компании, установили цену на аналогичный продукт на уровне 69 000. Мы продаем тот же продукт за 48 000 с 10-летней гарантией, в то время как они дают пятилетнюю гарантию. Это будет огромный успех. Обещаю вам это, потому что наш менталитет очень похож. Наши люди не хотят покупать дорогие вещи, которые завтра сломаются. И что тогда делать? Наши люди предпочитают экономическую эффективность. Я имею в виду, как команда Качество, качество тоже. Качество, конечно. Мы не покупаем совсем дешевое. Сначала в текстильной промышленности произошло вот что: они начали покупать очень, очень дешевое китайское производственное оборудование. Через два-три года они поняли, что оно постоянно ломается, и эксплуатационные расходы огромны. Поэтому они Наши наставники — это те, кто работал с НАСА, с Центром атомных исследований имени Бхабха, с IIT. Все это возглавляют лучшие специалисты из IIT. Пожалуйста, пожалуйста. Как мы видим, IT

We are the ultimate. We are having the 2% tax. But we are contributing nearly 47. That is the first one. And I am representing that plan. And more often that has not come only from the farmers. That was due to the entrepreneurship of the machinery contract. And there are two big associations. One is AMMA. Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Association. And second, whom I am representing, that is Confederation of Food and Agro Processing Machinery. We are working on the post harvest in agro processing and the food processing machinery, small machinery we are working. We do have there the culture was one the shortest.
O‘zbekcha
Biz eng yuqori darajadamiz. Bizda 2 foizli soliq bor. Lekin biz qariyb 47 hissa qo'shyapmiz. Bu birinchisi. Va men ushbu rejani vakillik qilyapman. Ko'pincha bu nafaqat fermerlardan kelib chiqqan. Bu texnika shartnomalari tadbirkorligi tufayli bo'ldi. Ikkita yirik uyushma mavjud. Biri — AMMA, ya'ni Qishloq xo'jaligi texnikasi ishlab chiqaruvchilar uyushmasi. Ikkinchisi, men vakillik qilayotgan — Oziq-ovqat va agro-qayta ishlash texnikasi konfederatsiyasi. Biz hosilni yig'ishtirib olgandan keyingi agrar qayta ishlash va oziq-ovqat mahsulotlarini qayta ishlash texnikalari, kichik texnikalar ustida ishlayapmiz. U yerda bizda madaniyat eng qisqa edi.
Русский
Мы — вершина. У нас налог 2%. Но мы вносим вклад почти 47. Это первое. И я представляю этот план. И чаще всего это исходит не только от фермеров. Это произошло благодаря предпринимательству в сфере контрактов на технику. И есть две большие ассоциации. Одна из них — AMMA, Ассоциация производителей сельскохозяйственной техники. И вторая, которую я представляю, — это Конфедерация оборудования для пищевой и сельскохозяйственной промышленности. Мы работаем над послеуборочной агропереработкой и оборудованием для пищевой промышленности, мы работаем над малой техникой. У нас там культура была одной из самых коротких.
