Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry has opened its office in Mumbai to give a boost to the bilateral trade between Russia and India amid big number of Russian entrepreneurs seeking partners in the country.

CCI President, Sergey Katyrin, who is currently heading a Russian delegation of entrepreneurs in India, inaugurated the new office by cutting the ceremonial ribbon alongside prominent Indian officials.

"We are currently overwhelmed with requests from Russian entrepreneurs seeking partners in India. This opening (of the new office in Mumbai) doubles, and possibly even more, expands our opportunities for finding partners, organizing business missions, and participating in exhibitions, and congresses. It is of great significance for us," Katyrin said during the inauguration.
