Mehen Poinoosawmy – ERP SAP Consultant from Tamil Nadu

Mehen Poinoosawmy, already involved in the diaspora community in France with the GOPIO Francophone France, came to find his roots in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu in January 2014 after the PBD in Delhi, and even if he didn’t find any concrete information about his grand-father’s family, he had a very good connection with the local population.

Planning various projects with Tamil artists and eager to play a more dynamic role within the PIOs in his area, he just launched the GOPIO North Paris chapter in Paris during a function organized right after the London Regional PBD.

He emphasizes the need to create awareness about the Know India Program in France and with many more GOPIO local chapters to be started in France, in addition to those of Guadeloupe and Martinique, many young French PIOs will be reached.

This three week long program dedicated to the Young PIOs is a wonderful opportunity to discover India, not only the tourist sites but also the people, the institutions and to make friends from various countries. His son participated in the last Know India Program and is strongly encouraging the students and young professionals to enrol.
