The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has appointed Anant Swarup as its Secretary General, effective April 15, reinforcing the organisation’s senior leadership at a pivotal moment for Indian industry.

A 1992-batch Indian Railway Personnel Service (IRPS) officer, Swarup has served in key positions such as Additional Secretary in the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Director General of Trade Remedies, Executive Director to the Union Minister of Railways, and First Secretary representing India at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva.

His appointment strengthens FICCI’s senior leadership, with Jyoti Vij continuing to serve as Director General.
