About CIIM
Consortium of Indian Industries in Malaysia (CIIM) or perhaps more aptly "Corporate India In Malaysia" was set up to be the Corporate face of India in Malaysia.
A need was felt by the Indian companies operating in Malaysia, to have a common platform to share information, opportunities, address issues, brainstorm, network and establish linkages between Indian companies and various stakeholders in the Government and Industry in Malaysia.
CII (Confederation of Indian Industries) the apex body representing Indian industry, then initiated this process and the inception of CIIM took place.
