The Overseas Indian Facilitation Centre (OIFC) has created an Online Business Networking Portal to serve as a bridge between India and global investors. The OIFC is a public private partnership organization between the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOIA) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
The Online Business Networking Portal will bring together overseas Indians, entrepreneurs and Indian businesses on one common platform to do business with each other. The network connects investors and entrepreneurs to a cross-section of innovative businesses, products and services and involves a careful process of qualification and verification. This is in order to ensure that only the most credible and trusted business partners reach the investor.
The portal will eventually provide Investment and Business Facilitation Platform. It will be a login-based secured platform. Says Ms Shefali Chaturvedi, CEO of the OIFC, “It will handhold the investor through the complete process of investing, right from choosing the correct investment opportunities to actually making the investment.”
