The Confederation of
Indian Industry (CII) works to create and sustain an
environment conducive to the growth of industry in India ,
partnering industry and government alike through advisory
and consultative processes.
CII is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry led and
industry managed organisation, playing a proactive role in
India 's development process. Founded over 112 years ago, it
is India's premier business association, with a direct
membership of over 7000 organisations from the private as
well as public sectors, including SMEs and MNCs, and an
indirect membership of over 90,000 companies from around 362
national and regional sectoral associations.
A facilitator, CII catalyses change by working closely with
government on policy issues, enhancing efficiency,
competitiveness and expanding business opportunities for
industry through a range of specialised services and global
linkages. It also provides a platform for sectoral consensus
building and networking. Major emphasis is laid on
projecting a positive image of business, assisting industry
to identify and execute corporate citizenship programmes.
Partnerships with over 120 NGOs across the country carry
forward our initiatives in integrated and inclusive
development, which include health, education, livelihood,
diversity management, skill development and water, to name a
few.
CII's theme of 'Building People, Building India'
puts the spotlight on Human Resource Development: making
people more efficient, entrepreneurial and innovative,
to make India and Indian industry even more
competitive, across all sectors of the economy and all
sections of society, at all levels – Global, National,
Regional, State and Zonal.
With 62 offices in India, 8 overseas in Australia, Austria,
China, France, Japan, Singapore, UK, USA and institutional
partnerships with 271 counterpart organisations in 100
countries, CII serves as a reference point for Indian
industry and the international business community. |
