The first ever Ahmedabad International Literature Festival was a remarkable success! Congratulations to you and your excellent team. It is rare that the organisers get everything right the first time they do something, especially on such a massive scale. But you have accomplished this beautifully. I realize how many sleepless nights you and your team have put in to make this possible.

AILF 2016 is a benchmark for other litfests. Kudos and hope to see you all again soon!

Allow me to congratulate you on the spectacular success of the inaugural edition of AILF. It was an honor and pleasure to be a part of it. The event was well organized and everybody was so warm and friendly. I had a delightful time and am still thinking fondly of that yummy Gujarati thali meal :) This is only the beginning and I know you will go from strength to strength to become one of the best Literary festivals in the world. All the very best!

અમદાવાદમાં સાહિત્ય અને સંસ્કૃતિના સંવર્ધન માટે આપે યોજેલો આ પ્રથમ કાર્યક્રમ સફળ રહ્યો તે બદલ આપ અને આપની ટીમને હૃદયપૂર્વકના અભિનંદન પાઠવું છું. આપે મને યાદ કરને ખાસ બોલાવ્યો એ માટે આપનો આભારી છું. મારા લાયક ભવિષ્યમાં કોઈ પણ કામ હોય તો યાદ કરશો.

It was our pleasure to be associated with such an erudite event. We try to get involved with events in the city that are unique and are of social importance, so we are grateful that we got an opportunity to be a part of the Ahmedabad International Literature Festival. Very happy to hear that the event was a success. It is a pity that I could not attend. Maybe next year I can be there to see it as it unfolds!

It was a truly enriching experience, I congratulate you and your team for your outstanding efforts which paid off so brilliantly in the total success of the first AILF. I wish you all the success in your future literature festivals. The discussions were thought provoking, efforts taken were painstaking and you and your team were extremely warm and meticulous in detail.
