Following detailed research, India was identified as one of the leading chemical markets worldwide, with overwhelming support and enthusiasm towards SCI’s market entry. With its India headquarters based in Mumbai, SCI India offers its membership the opportunity to share information on a global platform between sectors as diverse as food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials, chemicals, environmental science and health and safety.
Earlier in 2007, SCI formed its India board of trustees, comprising high profile scientists and business leaders including Raghunath Anant Mashelkar, president of the Global Research Alliance and former director general of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

SCI’s market entry into India has been timed to meet the Indian chemical industry’s rapid expansion of production and innovation and SCI India is well placed to provide the much needed link between scientific discovery, application and business. The Society has been very encouraged by the engagement it has secured with Indian science and industry alike.
- SCI was also proud to present Rajendra Pachauri, (pictured) whose agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), was jointly awarded a recent Nobel Peace Prize for its work on global warming, with the SCI Environment Award for his significant contribution to improvement in environmental understanding, protection and performance. This award was received by Pachauri’s representative during the SCI India launch. (Click here for more details)
