Korea India Trade Council

Two nations. One community that shows up for each other.

We build lasting bridges between Koreans and Indians through language, culture, education and neighborly support, in both countries and in the communities we share.

India and the Republic of Korea share a strong and growing economic partnership, supported by expanding bilateral trade, technological cooperation, industrial collaboration and investment opportunities. As India continues to emerge as a major global manufacturing, technology and innovation hub, Korean enterprises have significant opportunities to establish operations, expand their presence and develop long-term business partnerships in the Indian market.

The Korea–India Trade Council aims to serve as a bridge between Korean companies, Indian businesses, government-linked investment facilitation institutions, entrepreneurs and industry stakeholders. Our objective is to assist Korean enterprises in navigating the Indian business environment and identifying suitable opportunities for sustainable growth.
