He invited the community to continue making meaningful contributions during the Amrit Kaal. Highlighting the commendable achievements of the Sindhi community, Muraleedharan acknowledged their successful businesses across various countries, contributing to fostering economic ties and cross-cultural exchanges.
The conference served as a global congregation for Sindhis to honor and cherish their language, culture, and historical legacy, tracing its roots back to the venerable Indus Valley Civilization that dates back 6,000 years. A noteworthy step toward making Sindhi more accessible was the transliteration of the language into the Roman script, aiming to bridge linguistic gaps and facilitate a broader understanding of Sindhi culture.

The emphasis remained on fostering unity and safeguarding cultural heritage, turning the event into a celebration ensuring the enduring vibrancy of Sindhi identity for generations to come.
