OUR VISION

A globally connected India equipped to turn ideas into enterprise and international opportunity.

To build a globally connected India where aspiring entrepreneurs, MSMEs, exporters, educational institutions and trade-promotion stakeholders can readily access the knowledge, networks, technology and professional support they need to turn ideas into successful enterprises and international business opportunities.

CITEP aims to be India’s most trusted knowledge-driven trade and export facilitation platform—converting potential into performance, information into implementation and ambition into sustainable economic growth.

OUR MISSION

Bridging the critical gap between information and implementation.

The Centre for Indian Trade and Export Promotion (CITEP) exists to bridge the critical gap between information and implementation in trade, entrepreneurship, MSME development and export promotion.

Our mission is to provide practical, coordinated and end-to-end support that enables entrepreneurs, exporters, industries, educational institutions, government agencies and business support organisations to successfully achieve their objectives—not merely understand them.
