Ludhiana, October 19, 2026: The Chamber of Industrial & Commercial Undertakings (CICU), Ludhiana, distributed completion certificates to participants of its 16th Export Training Batch, marking another important step towards strengthening export awareness and developing international trade capabilities among entrepreneurs, MSMEs and aspiring exporters. The certificates were distributed by Honey Sethi, General Secretary, CICU, and Vinod Kumar, renowned Export Trainer, who have been actively contributing to the development of export knowledge and skills among industry professionals.
Upkar Singh Ahuja, President, CICU, stated, “Punjab has immense potential to emerge as a leading export hub, particularly through its strong MSME base, manufacturing capabilities and entrepreneurial spirit. Our focus at CICU is to bridge the knowledge gap and prepare businesses to compete confidently in international markets. Export training is not merely about imparting information; it is about creating opportunities, building confidence and helping our industries connect with the world. Our vision is to see exports from Punjab grow substantially and more MSMEs become successful participants in global trade.”
The training programme was designed to provide participants with practical knowledge of export procedures, documentation, international market identification, export compliance, payment methods and other essential aspects of international trade. The sessions aimed to help participants understand the practical challenges of entering global markets and equip them with the confidence to explore export opportunities. Addressing the participants, Honey Sethi, General Secretary, CICU, appreciated their enthusiasm and encouraged them to apply the knowledge gained during the programme to develop their businesses and explore new international markets.
Vinod Kumar, Export Trainer, CICU, emphasised that successful exporting requires more than just a good product. A clear understanding of documentation, regulatory compliance, payment risks, logistics and international buyer requirements is equally important. He encouraged participants to adopt a practical approach and take confident steps towards entering the global marketplace.
CICU has consistently worked towards promoting export awareness and facilitating international trade through structured training programmes and industry-focused initiatives. These programmes are part of the Chamber’s broader commitment to empowering MSMEs, developing skilled professionals and encouraging more businesses to explore export opportunities. The successful completion of the 16th batch reflects CICU’s continued efforts to build export capabilities and contribute to the growth of Punjab’s industrial and business community. CICU remains committed to its vision of enabling more Indian businesses, particularly MSMEs, to expand beyond domestic boundaries and establish their presence in global markets.
