The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), has pioneered and led the ‘Competitiveness Revolution in India’ for over three decades.

The phase of competitiveness between 1984-2014 witnessed the setting up of CII’s 9 Centres of Excellence (CoEs) and their various landmark initiatives for industry through direct interventions like advocacy, training, excellence model benchmarks, material conservation, water and energy audits, sustainability performance assessments, Greenhouse Gas management, waste management, material conservation, green schools, etc. 

The CoEs aim to provide special advisory services that can benefit an organization in public or private sector (Large, medium, small and Start-ups, government departments, Financial & Educational Institutions and NGOs).   

CII’s CoEs continue to play a vital role in the capacity and capability building of India Inc.
