History
Creation
The Chamber of Commerce France India was created in 1983 by Francis Doré, now Honorary President. Shortly after its establishment, the French Government recognized the association's importance by granting the label "Chamber of Commerce" in July 1987.
The organization was known until the 1990s as the France-India Economic Association but only then it became a pivotal actor in the trade relations between France and India mostly thanks to the label Chamber of Commerce France India and also thanks to the energy of his founder, former ambassador of France In Seychelles.
Development
It has been 25 years since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce France India and the beginning of her engagement to the business community to develop economic and political relations between France and India.
As early as 1998, the Chamber of Commerce France India was empowered by the French authorities to organize and coordinate the France-India summit taking place in India.
Despite a certain number of changes, both structural and economical, the Chamber of Commerce France India has succeeded in adjusting her strategies and is now a major representative in bilateral trade offering innovative services that address the evolving needs of members.
Rebirth
Dan Oiknine has been the President of the Chamber of Commerce France India since summer 2009.
He has put efforts in following the path of his predecessor, while giving a new energy to the organization by restructuring the staff and re-orienting the missions of the Chamber of Commerce. A new era has come to the Chamber of Commerce France-India, guided by an innovative and dynamic politics, more focused on members, information and networking.
