safeguarding knowledge of technology and innovations through patents play a pivotal role.
The overall perspective of corporate management has seen a turnaround of 360 degrees
where new variables are emerging at turbulent pace. In this new era, ASSOCHAM has
emerged as a key differentiator for dissemination of tactical and strategic business
intelligence that drives initiatives for market consolidation and developmental growth.
ASSOCHAM has always laid impetus on building a "broad consensus on fiscal discipline &
prudence" leading to an acceptance that trade in global matrix is beneficial for economy's
growth. Various committees of ASSOCHAM have organized dedicated sessions on emerging

Looking Ahead
Over the years, ASSOCHAM has transformed itself from a reactive, representation-
forwarding organisation to a forceful, proactive, forward-looking institution equipping itself
to meet the aspirations of corporate India in the new world of business. Today, there is
need for greater involvement of business and industry with the Government in international
fora on issues such as intellectual property rights, environmental safeguards, anti-dumping
and quality standards etc. The concept of industry-government partnership has therefore
assumed vital importance and has to be carefully fostered to speed up the economic and
industrial development of the nation. ASSOCHAM is working towards creating a conducive
environment for Indian business to compete globally. The Chamber is being re-engineered
to shoulder the responsibility of serving its constituents even more effectively and its
expertise of professional to set itself apart as a Chamber with a difference.

Africa, China, Pakistan, opening overseas offices in Sharjah, Moscow, China, MOU
partnership with business Chambers in more than 45 countries, bringing out Economic and
Trade bulletins on Africa and Arab region are only few of constantly expanding of
ASSOCHAM.
ASSOCHAM strongly urges the policy makers, business houses/ entrepreneurs and students
(the future of India) to grasp the golden opportunity of leading the country in the resurgent
India. 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
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 115 years ago, it is India's premier business association, with a direct
membership of over 8100 organisations from the private as well as public sectors, including SMEs and MNCs, and an
indirect membership of over 90,000 companies from around 400 national and regional sectoral associations.
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 environment, to name a few.
CII has taken up the agenda of “Business for Livelihood” for the year 2010-11. Businesses are part of civil society and
creating livelihoods is the best act of corporate social responsibility. Looking ahead, the focus for 2010-11 would be
on the four key Enablers for Sustainable Enterprises: Education, Employability, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
While Education and Employability help create a qualified and skilled workforce, Innovation and Entrepreneurship
would drive growth and employment generation.

and institutional partnerships with 223 counterpart organisations in 90 countries, CII serves as a reference point for
Indian industry and the international business community.
Economies around the world are aligning themselves to the requirements of rapid globalisation. In a global village,
where market accessibility is no longer a hurdle, the tough part is capturing market shares and retaining them. Only
those, who have adopted global quality standards leveraging their intellectual capital have managed this feat. Guided
by this fact, CII has embarked on smarter initiatives that enhance competitiveness of Indian industry by underlining
the need for rapid up gradation on parameters like quality, corporate governance, knowledge management,
energy efficiency and environment management. All this, not only to increase productivity and profitability but also
to enhance the quality of life of the community. Different divisions and councils of CII develop and undertake new
