FTDC is an exciting place to study and grow, a place where students become entrepreneurs. FTDC is different. The best way to understand the FTDC difference is to experience it. FTDC prepares you not only for a rewarding job, but also for a lifetime career in export -import trade, and Indian retail industry.
FTDC was founded in 1991 as a pioneering institute in the area of foreign trade by a group of economists, academicians and corporate thinkers. It was the product of its time as the trade policies followed by different countries had shrunk the world into a global village and there was a growing demand for foreign trade professionals.
From a modest beginning, FTDC has grown manifold over the decade and now operates four centers in Delhi , NOIDA and Jaipur with more than twenty five eminent faculty members and training over 1500 students every year. FTDC's main activities include educational training programmes in Export-Import Management, Retail Management,Merchandising Management,Import Management, Export Marketing, and Quality Management in Export Trade, Export Development through Internet, Merchandising and Collective Trade Fair Participation through a series of structured practical oriented programmes.
FTDC is committed to excellence in every aspect of international business education. The institute has conducted over 575 seminars and training programmes in India and abroad in international business and has passed the milestone of its 18000th student in April 2007. This rapid development has seen it establish a reputation as an institution which offers excellence in the field of educational training.
FTDC, as an effective trade promotion organisation, provides consultancy on market development services, identifying new export opportunities, adapting products for sale abroad and promoting these goods in international markets. The FTDC website www.ftdcindia.org not only allows the students to host their company profile but also to display the products to ensure maximum visage. The site also includes dissemination of latest trade information.
