INDUSTRY BODIES IN INDIA

The government of India has Ministry of Commerce & Industry and Ministry of Finance to look after the well being of its trade sector. But to lend a helping hand, various trade associations are being formed. Generally they are voluntary and not for profit associations and chambers that work with the government to strengthen internal trade in the country.

It provides a network for discussions and is a meeting place for stalwarts of the industry and people making these policies. It represents the interests of the commerce and the internal trade industries of India. It provides a platform for policy discussions and formulating plans for the safety and the growth of the industry.

We can’t deny the fact that technology is the main contributor for economic growth. There are a few important Industry bodies that facilitate business and trade in hardware, software and services and encourages the advancement of research in India’s technology sector. They work towards policy advocacy efforts and have emerged as a strong and effective industry mouthpiece. The members as the think-tanks are aiming to foster digital inclusion and adoption across India.

There are multiple associations formed across the country in the last 5 years for policy advocacy and smooth running of businesses given the changing environment for business transformation. They play a vital role in enhancing efficiency and global competitiveness of the Indian industry and expanding business opportunities both in domestic and foreign markets.

The goal of these associations are to promote trade in both domestic and international arena and reduce trade barriers while fostering conducive environment for the growth of trade and industry of India.
