Dear Ma'am,

Consultancy Development Centre (CDC) is an autonomous institution of the Department

of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt.
of India set up as a nodal organization for promotion, development and strengthening of
consultancy skills and capabilities in the country and abroad. CDC has made significant
progress in emphasizing the need for effective use of consultancy in various sectors of
our society and economy.

DSIR has been sponsoring the study on "Assessment of Potential for Export" to CDC.
Till date, this study has been carried out focusing the following countries: Argentina,
Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Botswana, Czech Republic, Ethiopia, Hungary, Kenya,
Mexico, Mozambique, Romania, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

Now it has been proposed to study four CIS countries viz. Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia
and Ukraine.
As part of this study, we propose to explore the following:
• Prioritization of sectors in these four CIS
countries that require consultancy based on the development plans during next 10
years.
• Study of present consulting capabilities of these
countries.
• Assessment of consultancy requirement of client
organizations in these countries
• Study of local business environment including
entry barriers, legal and regulatory requirements for establishing consulting
business in these countries as well as market access requirements and issues.
• Investments and growth in Industry/Corporate
Sector during the next 10 years
• Areas where services of foreign consultants
(Indian Consultants) would be useful for development of these countries

The findings of this report will be made available to consultants of theses countries
interested in joining hands to bid for projects in these countries as well as for consulting
assignments for third country exports.

Since this study is expected to benefit the export of Indian consultancy services in these
CIS countries, we seek your support in carrying out the same.

It would be deeply appreciated if you could arrange for a meeting with the concerned
person in this regard.

With regards,
Yours sincerely,
