FICCI Auditorium

Promotion of Indian industries and protecting the interests of businesses in the country, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry or FICCI was the primary organisation to work towards this particular aim. This organisation came into being in 1927, making it the oldest and the largest organisation for business people in India. In 1927, on the advice of Mahatma Gandhi, the industrialists and philanthropists, GD Birla and Purushottam Das Thakurdas set up the FICCI, as a body which would bring together the industrialists, business houses and corporate houses together, so as to work on a common platform for the development and growth of India. The organisation had steered the industrial revolution in India, closely interwoven with India’s freedom struggle. The role played by FICCI has given a new direction to the industrial sector, post the Indian independence era and contributed significantly to the historical process with healthy debates, discussions and implementation of various policies.

FICCI has also actively participated in the government structure by working on different features, in the capacity of a non-governmental and non-profit organisation. In the membership list of FICCI are a number of industries, corporate houses, small and medium scale industries and nearly about 2,50,000 member companies from regional chambers of commerce. Through this platform of FICCI, there is growth in industrial and business consensus, business promotion and networking among the business units of all statures.
