Indian Merchants' Chamber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Indian Merchants’ Chamber, established on 7th September 1907, is an organization of India, representing interests of Indian trade, commerce, and industry. It was organized originally during the British Raj to promote trade, commerce, and industry by Indian entrepreneurs.

IMC has played a significant role in consolidating Indian business interests and making the Indian economy self-reliant. It kept pace with and, in its own way, became part of the Indian struggle for freedom. It was the Chamber's dedication that made Mahatma Gandhi patronise it and accept, in 1931, its honorary membership — a rare honour bestowed upon any chamber of commerce in this country.
