Supriya Banerji, Senior Director of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has been honored with the award of the prestigious "Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE)" by the British Government. The award has recognized once again, the contribution of the Indian Industry in furthering the Indo - British ties.
Supriya has headed CII's UK Office for close to eight years. She has also served as Head of the CII Southern Region, and the International Division of CII. As head of the UK Office of CII, and later as head of CII's International Work, Supriya Banerji led multiple initiatives, which helped improve Indo-British business linkages.
Of particular importance were her roles in putting together the institutional structure to Indo-British Partnership, institutionalizing formal collaborative ventures such as the Warwick Manufacturing Group, (Warwick University) & Indian Industry, the Commonwealth Business Council, the Asia House amongst others.
The CII's UK office today is its oldest overseas operation, which CII opened 25 years ago, recognizing the importance of trade ties with Britain. An innovative vehicle for increasing trade and investments was the Indo - British Partnership (IBP) initiative, unique at that time with its focus on a specific country, set up in 1993.
The first target set in 1993 of doubling the trade between India and UK was surpassed by the efforts put in by the IBP. CII was nominated the Secretariat for the IBP by the Government of India.
