Our Story
Built by business leaders, for business leaders
Founded 2016
Founded in 2016 by a group of US and Indian business leaders, industry veterans, and policy experts who saw the immense potential of closer trade, the US India Trade Council was formed to fill a crucial void.
They came together to create a neutral, non-profit platform to help companies navigate both markets with trusted guidance, practical support, and a strong bilateral voice. Today, USITC supports hundreds of enterprises across both nations.
