About FICCI
Established in 1927, FICCI is one of the largest and oldest
apex business organizations in India. FICCI’s history is
closely interwoven with India’s struggle for independence,
industrialization and emergence as one of themost rapidly
growing global economies. FICCI has contributed to this
historical process by encouraging debate, articulating the
private sector’s views and influencing policy. A not-for-
profit organization, FICCI is the voice of India’s business
and industry.
FICCI draws its membership from the corporate sector,
both private and public, including MNCs. FICCI enjoys an
indirect membership of over 2,50,000 companies from
various regional chambers of commerce.
FICCI provides a platform for sector specific consensus
building and networking and is the first port of call
for Indian industry and the international business
community.
