The Indian economy is at the crossroads and business, trade, and industry growth are still far from achieving their full potential for the country to become an economic superpower. While different business communities in our country have been able to successfully break new ground and prosper over the past decades due to various policy changes, globalization, and breakthroughs in technology and business practices, the minority community in India, albeit a handful of notable exceptions, has not been able to be part of this growth story.
The community still faces poverty and lack of access to basic education, among others,which leads to denial of opportunities available in India as well as the world. According to the 2011 Census, 31% of Muslims in India live in poverty. Muslims had the highest proportion of youth (ages 3-35) who had never enrolled in formal education – 17% of Muslim men and 21.9% of Muslim women have never enrolled in an academic programme, according to a survey by the National Statistical Office. This is the highest among all religious groups in India.
The absence of a strong network of like-minded, educated, and driven individuals who can come together to collectively share their expertise, knowledge, and skills to mutually benefit the community at large is one of the key reasons for this collective failure.
This is how the idea of the Muslim Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) was born. Envisioned as a business network for Muslim-owned and Muslim-led enterprises, MCCI aims to provide a support system to Muslim entrepreneurs as well as self-employed individuals.
When the community thrives, the country thrives too. That’s MCCI’s mott.

What We Do
This is the right time to take steps and start motivating the professionals. Academicians, Management Experts, Businessmen and Industrialists to join hands and make a strong Institution and organization which can bring and support the economic revival within the community and country. The small divided economic microscopic groups will never be able to bring any economic change for progress and development. It is the call of the hour to form a group which can build the foundation for progressive economic mindset and for a long struggle to create a considerable share in the national economy. We have decided to unite the Entrepreneur, Businessmen and Industrialist from the minority community with the help of professionals, Senior Academicians and experts, under the name and banner of MUSLIM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.
Aims and Objectives
The prime objectives of the MCCI are as follows:
1. To establish a broad-based business and industry development organization for the minority community.
2. To assist minority-owned and minority-run businesses with networking and marketing opportunities.
3. To provide training and education facilities for minority- owned and minority-run businesses.
