CII Luncheon
CII had organised a luncheon
meeting of the Indian delegation
with Mr Arun Jaitley. It was an
interaction without any
formal agenda.
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,
playing a proactive role in India's development process. Founded in 1895, India's premier
business association has over 7800 members, from the private as well as public sectors,
including SMEs and MNCs, and an indirect membership of over 200,000 enterprises from
around 240 national and regional sectoral industry bodies.
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, healthcare, education, livelihood, diversity management, skill
development, empowerment of women, and water, to name a few.
In its 120th year of service to the nation, the CII theme of Build India - Invest in
Development: A Shared Responsibility, reiterates Industry’s role and responsibility as a
partner in national development. The focus is on four key enablers: Facilitating Growth and
Competitiveness, Promoting Infrastructure Investments, Developing Human Capital, and
Encouraging Social Development.
With 66 offices, including 9 Centres of Excellence, in India, and 8 overseas offices in
Australia, Bahrain, China, Egypt, France, Singapore, UK, and USA, as well as institutional
partnerships with 312 counterpart organizations in 106 countries, CII serves as a reference
point for Indian industry and the international business community.
