On accepting the role of President, Mohit delivered an emotive speech that sent out a clear message to defaulters. He also paid special tribute to his late father, Dhirajlal Shah, who introduced him to the world of cotton. "I accept this role with humbleness and humility and at the same time I feel privileged and special with a true belief and conviction that being president of this prestigious association is the greatest honour I can ever receive."
