As we celebrate our 99th Foundation Day on 7th of April we look back at the legacy.
Born in 1927, at the behest of our Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, FICCI has been more than just a business chamber - it has been a partner in India’s journey from a colonial economy to a global powerhouse.
As we look back on nearly a century of advocacy, policy influence, and industrial growth, we reaffirm our commitment to Viksit Bharat.
To our members, partners, and the entire business community: Thank you for being part of this incredible legacy. Here’s to many more years of industrial excellence and nation-building!
