MadrasChamber Madras Chamber of Commerce and Industry is the second oldest chamber of commerce in India. The Beginnings ……….

In the words of the first Chairman John Alves Arbuthnot, the objectives of the Chamber were

“…watch over and protect the interests of trade; receive and collect information on all matters of mercantile interest bearing upon the removal of grievances and promotion of the common good; receive references on matters of custom or usage in doubt or dispute, decide on the same and record the decisions

made for further reference and to form by that and other code of practices whereby the transaction of business by all companies engaged in it are simplified and facilitated”…..
