Membership Benefits

We organize regular events to provide members a platform to interact with the international business community, industry associations, or Indian and German authorities. These events create opportunities to share experiences, learn, establish new business contacts and explore new business possibilities.

Seminars/Workshops

We invite guest speakers with the relevant business or industry background to share insights on current topics, be it the latest tax reform, financial investment, intercultural cooperation, addressing obstacles faced in doing business in India, etc. Presentations are typically followed by interactive sessions, discussions, and information exchange.

Indo-German Business Meet (IGBM)

The IGBM is a monthly event for Indian and German business managers of Indo-German ventures. Participants exchange views and experiences, introduce their company, products, and services, and get updates on upcoming events like delegations, seminars, workshops, etc.

Founders’ Day

 We invite members to a lecture by an important dignitary from Germany once a year. This event is held to commemorate the foundation of the Indo-German of Commerce in the year 1956.

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

We invite our Indian members to the AGM in Mumbai and our German members to the Annual Meet in Duesseldorf. Our annual meetings are the largest events of the Indo-German business community in India as well as in Germany, with over 550 participants in India and 300 participants in Germany. It is an elite gathering of industrialists, exporters, importers, diplomats, VIPs, and media, which makes it an excellent platform for contact building and advertising. The concept of brand-building at the IGCC AGM has always proved to be a good marketing tool for many of our members. To enable this better, we offer members the opportunity to exhibit their products, services, or corporate messages at this event. In addition to the exhibition, we always invite high-profile guest speakers and organize a reception subsequently.

While introducing a German tradition to India, we organize Christmas Markets in Delhi and Mumbai. All our members are invited to our Christmas Markets, where entertainment goes hand-in-hand with business opportunities.
