The Indian Commerce and Industry Association Japan (KSHICIJ) was first established as 'Shadan Hojin Indian Merchants Association of Yokohama' (IMAY) in 1921. We are a non-profit public interest incorporated association affiliated with major commerce and industry institutions. The membership comprises several of the largest corporate groups with business operations all over India and abroad. We engage as an apex body for commerce and industry, friendship, goodwill, economic and cultural exchanges, and mutual understandings between India and Japan.

​

Indo-Japanese trade, economic and investment potential has expanded significantly. With the recent successful signing of several economic India - Japan agreements, it is expected that the trade and investment figures will substantially increase in the coming years. We offer our comprehensive services to Japanese manufacturers, general contractors and other investors in cooperation with other institutions for the fruition of the India-Japan economic agenda.

​

As one of the most proactive public bodies in Japan, we organize trade fairs and exhibitions. We were privileged to interact and host several esteemed dignitaries and guests. We retain the character of being the premier public body of senior industry leaders forming our core Executive Committee and the Governing Board. Our enlightened leadership and membership have enabled us to move ahead and respond proactively to the dynamic changes that have taken place in Japan with a vision for the future.

​

Leading industrial promotion organizations, banks and financial institutions, as well as governmental organizations, are members who lend a diversified membership base. We also derive our strength and sustenance from the representative national character of our constituents. Another distinguishing feature is that industrialists and owners of leading corporate entities are members responsible for charting our policies.

​

Indeed, our forte has always been our ability to move with the times, anticipate the needs of the future and suggest proactive measures for furthering Indian business and industry. It has always been alive to the pulse of the environment in which it operates. Through enlightened leadership, its robust and progressive membership of important companies and its professional secretariat, we have adapted to the changes in the global order and are moving with confidence to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
