02,January 2025: Vinayak Decorators, a prominent event management company from Goa, has been entrusted with designing the tableaux for both Arunachal Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh for the 2025 Republic Day parade in New Delhi. This achievement marks a historic milestone for Siddhesh Dessai, the company’s owner, as he becomes the first Goan to receive such an honor.
