Indian Businessmen’s Association was set up as ‘Fellowship Group’ in 1985 with the aim of providing a forum where Indian businessmen as well as professionals could meet informally and exchange views and discuss subjects of common interest. A speaker is usually invited to speak on a topic of current interest every month. The topics are not confined to business, and also include social issues. The name of the Group was later changed to ‘Indian Businessmen’s Association’. The Association has over 200 members.
