Our History

AICC was the brainchild of a few visionaries in the mid 1990’s. They wanted to build a forum for the growing Asian Indian business community. By way of a strong constitution they ensured that it did not get taken over by dictatorial elements in our community. The motto of our chamber aptly states that ‘None of Us is as Strong as All of Us’. Besides acknowledging the power in numbers, it also emphasises the creed that providing new leadership every 2 or four years is the only way to ensure that the Chamber will evolve, bring new ideas and continue to serve the needs of our community.
‘India Goes Global’ (1996) was the first all-day conference that opened doors for the chamber to the outside world. We had speakers travel from India for this event. Over the years, the chamber organized many successful Networking events and Outreach programs.
Chamber has evolved as per our membership needs but our goal to help them succeed remains the same.
