Broad incumbents

• NASSCOM (National Association of Software and Service Companies): A larger, sector-specific industry body that also engages in policy advocacy and international business facilitation. While focused on IT/ITES, it competes for the same corporate members and government access that CCI India courts.

• ASSOCHAM (Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India): Apex Indian chamber of commerce with comparable activities in policy advocacy, sector councils, international business promotion, and arbitration. Directly competes for corporate members and government MoU partnerships with CCI India.
