IFDC Objective

The Indian Footwear Development Council is a dedicated organization aimed at supporting and strengthening the footwear industry in India. With the objective of fostering growth and development, the council focuses on various initiatives to promote innovation, skill enhancement, and export competitiveness within the sector. Through partnership with key stakeholders, such as manufacturers, designers, exporters, and government institutions, they strive to create a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. The council also acts as a platform for knowledge sharing and networking by organizing seminars, workshops, and trade fairs. By actively collaborating with international bodies like World Footwear Congress and Leather Working Group, they ensure that Indian footwear industries are up- to-date with global trends and practices. Furthermore, IFDC plays a crucial role in advocating for favourable trade policies that open doors for increased exports while safeguarding domestic interests.
