EMSI Working to bring additional jobs to Maryland
As stated by Maryland Governor,
Martin O'Malley,"One of the most important choices that we can make in
these times is to be more engaged in the global economy. That’s why after our
first successful trade mission to China, Vietnam and South Korea last summer,
we brought our jobs mission to India this past fall." O'Malley
continued the trade mission to India in December 2011 with a
group of American business leaders from growing companies and enterprises and
Prince Georges County and Montgomery County Maryland. Among the business
leaders were Environmental Management
Services, Inc. (EMSI) President and CEO,
Shobhana Sharma, and CFO, Kumar Barve. Kumar is also a member of
the Maryland State House of Delegates and the House Majority Leader. Ms.
Sharma openly and actively supports initiatives that not only perpetuate EMSI's
international growth, but help development projects with international
economies.
On April 24, 2012, Environmental
Management Services, Inc. was
a designated sponsor in cooperation with O'Malley and the State of Maryland
Department of Business and Economic Development during a conference held with a
group of 60 business leaders from India and Maryland
As a result of our efforts in cooperation with Governor O'Malley
in India, an agreement was signed with the Federation of Indian Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (FICCI)
- a top Indian business organization that funds and supports many government
and non-government education institutes abroad. The agreement sets in motion
the plan to "create an India-Maryland Center in Maryland to boost trade
between the two regions." In addition, Indian based companies like Jubilant Life Sciences, plan to invest $20M in an effort to
triple warehouse space in Maryland and to add jobs.
Lastly, during the trade mission, at least 9 American companies have
agreed on significant deals or joint ventures with Indian based companies.
These efforts have brought back $145M in planned ventures and Foreign
Direct Investment in Maryland.

It has always been our priority to pay attention to economic sustenance and growth. "Together, in Maryland, by strengthening our ties abroad, we’re making the right choices to transform the global challenges of today into the jobs and opportunities of tomorrow. I look forward to more missions in the future." - Gov. O'Malley. With our participation in these activities, we find satisfaction in the knowledge that we are paving a path for continued domestic and international economic growth.
