The Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI) is an Indian association that promotes business enterprises for Dalits.[1] It was founded in 2005 by Milind Kamble.[2] The association has been criticised as seeking to find a small part in a capitalist economy that is founded on exploitation of economically underprivileged classes such as the Dalits themselves.[3][4] Some of the key members of DICCI are Kalpana Saroj, Chandra Bhan Prasad and Rajesh Saraiya.

Organization

DICCI has 18 state chapters and 7 international chapters. Members of DICCI come from diverse range of manufacturing, services and construction sectors. It organizes trade fairs and training camps among other things, and carries out promotional activities for the Dalit MSMEs.[5] The organization is headquartered in Pune.[6]
