"I am delighted and honoured over getting the invitation to attend this meet where I am going to perform," Majumdar said.
The event will include various seminars and exhibitions helping youngsters to reconnect with their roots, Nayak said adding, a property show to be held there would help showcase Gujarat as an investment destination to NRIs.
