Foreign Trade Development Centre was established in 1991 as a pioneering institute in the area of foreign trade by a core group of economists, academicians and corporate thinkers.

As the trade policies followed by different countries had shrunk the world into a global village, thereby enhancing the demand for foreign trade professionals, FTDC was appropriately the right product at the right time.

This rapid development has seen it establish a reputation as an institution which offers excellence in the field of export-import training, merchandising and retail management.

From a modest beginning, FTDC has grown manifold over the last decade and a half, it now operates two centers in Delhi and Panipat with more than 25 eminent faculty members and training over 800 students every year.

The institute has conducted over 575 seminars and training programmes both in India and abroad in international business alone as well as passed the proud milestone of 20,000 students in 2009.
