The Gujarat Chapter was initially launched as Ahmedabad Chapter and was later on converted to Gujarat Chapter.

On the morning of 24th April, a meeting of the Core Group of the soon-to-be-launched WZCCI (World Zarathushti Chamber of Commerce), Ahmedabad Chapter, was held at the office of Areez Khambatta, President of the Ahmedabad Parsi Panchayat.

A Jashan ceremony was organized by the Ahmedabad Parsi Panchayat in the evening of Saturday, 24th April at Paak Vakil Anjuman Adarian Saheb. Areez Khambatta, President of the Parsi Panchayat, gave a welcome address. He explained how very impressed he was with the aims and objects of WZCCI when he was invited as Keynote Speaker at the inauguration of the Mumbai Chapter on 8th June 2003. Soon thereafter he had discussed with his co-Trustees about the various advantages of starting a Chapter at Ahmedabad. Zarine Commissariat thereafter explained to the large communal gathering the background of the WZCC, the establishment of the Chamber in India, with Chapters in Mumbai, Delhi and Pune. She motivated members to join the Ahmedabad Chapter, when it would be inaugurated the next day.

On the morning of Sunday, 25th April there was a large turnout at the first ever gathering of the WZCCI Ahmedabad Chapter. Areez Khambatta, Patron, welcomed the gathering and highlighted the advantages of joining the Chapter. Zarine Commissariat and Kersi Limathwalla thereafter conducted an interactive session and responded to the various questions raised. The enthusiasm shown by the members of our community in Ahmedabad was tremendous. When the membership forms were distributed, it was heartening to note that Dr. Ms. Armaity Davar and Mr. Burjor Patel immediately signed on as Patrons of the Ahmedabad Chapter.
