Guidance Tamil Nadu (formerly Tamil Nadu Industrial Guidance and Export Promotion Bureau [1] ) is the nodal investment promotion agency of the Government of Tamil Nadu. Established in 1992, it plays a central role in attracting and supporting investments across sectors in the state of Tamil Nadu. Operating under the Industries, Investment Promotion and Commerce Department, Guidance Tamil Nadu provides end-to-end support to investors—from market entry assistance and single-window clearances to project implementation and aftercare services—and functions under the purview of Minister Dr. T. R. B. Rajaa. Guidance has evolved into an organisation that strives to transform the ecosystem in Tamil Nadu for investors to invest, innovate and create.

Team

Guidance Tamil Nadu was established as a non-profit registered Society with the objective of attracting major investments into the state. Over time, it has evolved into a dynamic organisation headquartered in Chennai, comprising a team of over 60 young professionals with diverse expertise in business, law, economics, policy, and analytics. [2] The organisation operates through specialised verticals and desks that work collaboratively to drive investments, support industrial growth, and strengthen Tamil Nadu’s global positioning. [3]

COVID Management & Recovery Initiatives

Guidance, under the aegis of the Industries Department, and in collaboration with other Government departments and agencies, undertook several measures to mitigate the effects of the pandemic for industries and carried out several initiatives to restore the confidence of the investors. [4] [5] [6]

Partnerships

Partnering with the World Economic Forum (WEF), it established India’s first advanced manufacturing hub (AMHUB) in Tamil Nadu. It is one of the 19 AMHUBs in the world. [7] This platform focuses on engaging entire regional production ecosystems to identify and address regional opportunities and challenges brought by the Fourth Industrial Revolution by amplifying regional success stories, sharing best practices & incubating new partnerships. [8] Tamil Nadu will be able to harness opportunities in the sectors of electronics, electric mobility, solar energy and textiles through this collaboration with AMHUB.

It also entered into an agreement with Indian School of Business (ISB) to work on a broader objective of economic recovery and growth. It is a tripartite partnership where Academia, Government and Industry come together to work on economic development of the State. [9]
