Confederation of Indian Industry
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) works to create and sustain an environment conducive to
the development of India, partnering Industry, Government and civil society, through advisory and
consultative processes.
CII is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry-led and industry-managed organization, with around
9,000 members from the private as well as public sectors, including SMEs and MNCs, and an indirect

For more than 125 years, CII has been engaged in shaping India’s development journey and works
proactively on transforming Indian Industry’s engagement in national development. CII charts change
by working closely with Government on policy issues, interfacing with thought leaders, and enhancing
efficiency, competitiveness and business opportunities for industry through a range of specialized
services and strategic global linkages. It also provides a platform for consensus-building and networking
on key issues.
Extending its agenda beyond business, CII assists industry to identify and execute corporate citizenship
programmes. Partnerships with civil society organizations carry forward corporate initiatives for
integrated and inclusive development across diverse domains including affirmative action, livelihoods,
diversity management, skill development, empowerment of women, and sustainable development, to
name a few.
As India strategizes for the next 25 years to India@100, Indian industry must scale the competitiveness
ladder to drive growth. It must also internalize the tenets of sustainability and climate action and
accelerate its globalisation journey for leadership in a changing world. The role played by Indian
industry will be central to the country’s progress and success as a nation. CII, with the Theme for 2023-
24 as ‘Towards a Competitive and Sustainable India@100: Growth, Livelihood, Globalisation, Building
Trust’ has prioritized 6 action themes that will catalyze the journey of the country towards the vision
of India@100.
With 65 offices, including 10 Centres of Excellence, in India, and 8 overseas offices in Australia, Egypt,
Germany, Indonesia, Singapore, UAE, UK, and USA, as well as institutional partnerships with 350
counterpart organizations in 133 countries, CII serves as a reference point for Indian industry and the
international business community.
