About PPPAI

The Public Procurement Professional Association of India (PPPAI) is the first dedicated association for public procurement professionals in India. It was officially launched on 24th September 2020, in collaboration with leading international organizations including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), United Nations (ITC, Geneva), Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), New Development Bank (NDB), and ISM-INDIA (an affiliate of ISM-USA).

PPPAI is committed to developing, supporting, and promoting the professionalization of public procurement across the country.

With public procurement accounting for nearly 25% of India’s GDP—approximately USD 730 billion annually—ensuring Value for Money (VfM) is of paramount importance. The professional development of officials responsible for managing this expenditure is therefore essential to enhancing transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness in procurement processes at all levels of government.
