India’s economic growth story has attracted the world’s attention, bringing new challenges for the domestic economy. One of the major issues for the economy and the industry is the uninhibited growth of counterfeit, fake and smuggled goods. The market for fake and counterfeit products is thriving in India and is today one of the biggest challenges faced by Indian industry. FICCI’s Committee Against Smuggling and Counterfeit Activities Destroying the Economy – FICCI CASCADE, with the participation of all leading industries from all sectors of the economy, is committed to fight this twin menace of counterfeiting and smuggling.
