What Mirpur Chamber of Commerce & Industry does

Mirpur Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) is a non-profit membership organization based in Mirpur, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan, established in 2014 to represent and serve the regional business community. The organization operates with 51-100 employees from a single office at the Old Industrial Area, Sector D-1, Mirpur, and functions as an official interlocutor between local businesses and state departments on economic policy issues including tax reform, energy costs, sick industrial unit revival, and DRY-PORT infrastructure development.

MCCI's core offerings are bundled within a membership structure and consist of seven principal services: (1) Certificate of Origin attestation for export shipments, (2) Visa Recommendation Letters for outbound and inbound business travel, (3) participation opportunities in international trade exhibitions, conferences, and foreign business delegations, (4) advisory support including mediation-based dispute resolution and international commercial dispute assistance, (5) free and paid training and capacity-building programs, (6) member discounts across partner hospitals, laboratories, hotels, schools, and business outlets, and (7) email and SMS-based notifications on government announcements, tenders, and business leads. The chamber is led by President Umar Shahzad, who succeeded Faisal Manzoor following the 2021-2022 presidential term.

The business model is non-profit and membership-driven, with revenue generated through membership fee structures (specific tiers not publicly disclosed) and transactional fees on visa recommendation letters (Rs.5,000 per person for outbound visits and Rs.10,000 per person for inbound foreign business visitors). Go-to-market is direct and offline, focusing on the businesses, industrialists, and entrepreneurs operating in the AJK region. The organization's website, powered by NTC Mirpur University of Science and Technology, serves as the primary digital presence alongside direct member communications and physical event participation.
