India-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries

What India-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries does

India-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries (IBCCI) is a non-profit bilateral trade chamber founded in 2007 and headquartered at Rupayan Center, 16th Floor, Mohakhali C/A, Dhaka-1212, Bangladesh. Its stated mission is to enhance trade and investment between India and Bangladesh by addressing business challenges, facilitating opportunities, and advocating for economic growth. The organization operates as a membership-based intermediary serving companies, entrepreneurs, and professionals engaged in bilateral trade across sectors including textiles, automotive, RMG, food, IT, renewable energy, and light engineering.

IBCCI delivers an integrated service package rather than discrete products: trade facilitation (liaison with authorities, dispute resolution, business matchmaking), business networking, visa recommendation services for Indian business visas, market research, trade fairs and roadshows (e.g., Indo Bangla Automotive Show, Indo Bangla Trade Fair, Tourism Fair, EV Summits, MSME conferences), and investment opportunity facilitation. The organization does not operate proprietary technology platforms, APIs, or digital products; all service delivery is human-mediated through its Dhaka secretariat and partner ecosystem.

Revenue is generated primarily through membership fees, with corporate members paying Tk. 40,000 (Tk. 20,000 entry fee plus Tk. 20,000 annual fee) payable by crossed cheque, pay order, or cash. The chamber is governed by a Board of Directors and Office Bearers elected biennially, with the 2025-2027 committee led by President Md Moshiur Rahman and Vice President Meherun Nessa Islam. IBCCI is supported by an institutional partner ecosystem anchored by the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), alongside ASSOCHAM, FIEO, Indian Chamber of Commerce, and BCCI. The website reports 10+ members, and headcount is stated as 11-50, with operations running Sunday through Thursday from the Dhaka headquarters.
