1. SCIP (India) Chapter
Past Events:
Background:
Since 2008 several Indian members of SCIP
had been talking to SCIP about an Indian
chapter. However, at that time interest levels
were relatively low.
In mid 2011, a survey was conducted to gauge
the level of interest for a SCIP chapter. A
positive response encouraged us to start the
Indian chapter, and in august 2011, we received
approval from SCIP's board.
The first Indian chapter meeting was held in
Mumbai in December 2011.
Objectives:
The objectives for the Indian chapter are:
• To protect a forum for CI professionals to
network.
• To share best practices in the field of
competitive intelligence.
• To develop the community and establish
standards for competitive intelligence in
India.

At the first meeting, participants spoke about
their roles within their companies, their interest
in CI and what they expected from the newly
formed Indian chapter of SCIP. These charter
members also discussed their vision for SCIP
India as instrumental in laying down definitions
and standards for CI practitioners in India, as
well as what they hoped to gain and give back to
the CI community through their participation in
SCIP India.
