What The Federation Of Telangana Chambers Of Commerce And Industry-ftcci ™ does

FTCCI (The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry) is a non-profit chamber of commerce established in 1917 and headquartered at Federation House, Red Hills, Hyderabad. It functions as the apex industry body for Telangana, serving over 3,000 direct member companies organized across five panels (A: Large Companies, B: Associations, C: Medium Enterprises, D: Professionals/Firms, E: MSMEs/Startups) and reaching an additional 25,000+ businesses indirectly through 160+ affiliated associations. Its core service portfolio includes Certificate of Origin certification for exporters (INR 200 per certificate), ATA Carnet facilitation for international trade (coordinated with FICCI), document certification, a Help Desk, 17 functional expert committees spanning agro-processing to ESG, and a CEO Forum for senior business leaders. The chamber is ISO 9001:2015 certified and runs 100+ events annually, including Excellence Awards, HR Awards, MSME Spark (aerospace and defence), IITEX (Industrial Innovation & Technology Expo), IPO Awareness Conclaves, and international business delegations.

The organization's business model is membership-based, with annual subscriptions structured by panel as the primary revenue stream, supplemented by transactional Certificate of Origin fees, hall rental income from seven air-conditioned event spaces at Federation House (including the 350-seat KLN Prasad Auditorium), and CEO Forum membership at Rs. 15,000 per annum. Life membership is priced at ten times the applicable panel's annual subscription. Go-to-market is event-driven and community-led, combining direct outreach at the Hyderabad headquarters, an online portal at ftcci.in, a weekly FTCCI Review newsletter, and active social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp). Distribution is anchored by physical convening power and supplemented by digital self-serve registration and membership applications.

Strategically, FTCCI positions itself as the policy advocacy channel between Telangana's business community and state/central government, and as a convener of ecosystem partnerships. Recent collaborations include the EY co-published AI adoption report for manufacturing and MSMEs, joint programming with T-Hub (Telangana's startup incubator) for the DM-CX-Loyalty Summit, and a national round table on Digital Trust & Citizen Protection with the Hyderabad Police. Governance is via a Managing Committee elected at the Annual General Meeting (the 109th AGM and elections are scheduled for July 15, 2026), with a Secretariat of approximately 17 staff led by Secretary Mattathammal Veena, and rotational leadership under President K K Maheshwari and Senior Vice President Srinivas Garimella.

Comparable to FTCCI as the apex trade body that FTCCI partners with for ATA Carnet and that competes for large-enterprise member attention.
• Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM): National chamber with strong state-level presence and active events, awards, and policy advocacy programs. Operates with a similar chamber-of-commerce model to FTCCI and competes for the same enterprise members seeking multi-state representation.
• Confederation of Indian Industry (CII): India's leading industry confederation with a national network of state and regional offices offering policy advocacy, networking, training and exhibitions. Direct competitor for FTCCI's large-enterprise and MSME member base in Telangana and beyond.
