Rose served as the first President of the Chambers from 1916 till 1920. The Chamber later became the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI). Over the last 100 years, the Chamber has had a distinguished array of businessmen and industrialists at the helm of FKCCI, establishing it as an apex organization for Industry, Trade & Service sectors in Karnataka.

Since its inception, the Chamber has sought to promote the national interest by way of both public and private sector led, economic growth and has played a catalytic role in policy making at the State and Central level. FKCCI today has a membership drawn from all sectors of Industry, Trade & Services.

With a century of service in commerce and industry, it is no wonder that the FKCCI stands as one of the five foremost chambers in the country apart from being the oldest parent chamber of any state in India.

SEMINAR CONCEPT NOTE

India is set to emerge as the world’s fastest-growing major economy even ahead of China. On the threshold of major reforms India is poised to become the third-largest economy of the world by 2030. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF)—at a time when global growth is projected at 3.3 per cent in 2015 and 3.8 per cent in 2016—India is projected to grow at 7.5 per cent in each of these years, up from 7.3 per cent in 2014. In addition, the World Bank has projected India’s robust economic expansion is steady at 7.6 per cent.

India has been ranked as the most attractive investment destination in the world for the next three years (as per the survey conducted by EY). According to the poll conducted, thirty-two percent of the business leaders said, India is the most attractive investment destination in the world, followed by China, Southeast Asia and Brazil. India’s economic fundamentals have accelerated in the year 2015 with the combined impact of strong government reforms, RBI’s inflation focus, supported by benign global commodity prices.

India expects a huge jump in ‘ease of doing business ranking’ this year with an improved range of 95 to 105 from the current 130 out of 189 in this year and aims to feature among the top 50 in the next three years in the rankings of the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report. The Government is already working on several policy measures to bring India into the top 50 ranks in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report. A series of measures were taken the way of doing business like cutting down of export and import documentation process and integrating government services on an online single window portal (eBiz). Further, the process of applying for environment and forest clearances has been made online. The relaxation of FDI Policy in railways, construction and defence has made these sectors attractive for investments and has paved for the economic direction of the Country The “Make in India” campaign has produced huge interest among domestic and foreign investors. This coupled with other initiatives like “Skill India”, “Digital India” etc, is fast tracking the Indian growth story. There is strong hope that India’s development effort towards growth would pay rich dividends in the near future. Keeping this context in mind the seminar will help investors and the business community to understand, why India is an ultimate destination for investment. It will also facilitate in deliberating the emerging opportunities across sectors which they can capture to their advantage. The seminar will be a platform for the researchers, faculty members and the students’ community to contribute their idea as to how India can become a more robust trade and industry destination among the nations..
