This appointment took place during the <strong>184th meeting of the Committee of Administration of CLE held in Chennai on 6 January 2026<\/strong>. The Council for Leather Exports is an apex body tasked with promoting and facilitating exports of leather, footwear, and leather products globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_Ramesh_Kumar_Juneja\"><\/span><strong>Who is Ramesh Kumar Juneja?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ramesh Kumar Juneja is a <strong>seasoned industrialist with over four decades of experience in the leather industry<\/strong>. Before being appointed Chairman, he served as the <strong>Vice-Chairman of CLE<\/strong> and was a board member for more than 15 years. He has also held the position of Regional Chairman of the <strong>Eastern Region of CLE<\/strong> since 2014. His deep involvement in the leather sector and entrepreneurial background have made him a well-recognized figure within both national and international trade circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Role_and_Responsibilities_as_Chairman\"><\/span><strong>Role and Responsibilities as Chairman<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the new Chairman, Juneja will lead CLE\u2019s strategic efforts to enhance <strong>India\u2019s leather export footprint globally<\/strong>. His responsibilities include working with exporters, policymakers, and international partners to expand market access and improve India\u2019s share in global leather trade. CLE plays a vital role in policy guidance, market research, export support, and industry representation, and the Chairman\u2019s role involves steering these efforts amid global trade challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Significance_of_the_Leather_Sector_in_India\"><\/span><strong>Significance of the Leather Sector in India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leather industry is an important contributor to India\u2019s manufacturing and export economy. It provides employment to millions and supports numerous MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) across the country. The sector exports finished leather, footwear, leather goods, and accessories to global markets including the EU, US, and others. Leadership at CLE is therefore crucial in guiding export strategies, particularly in a competitive global environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategic_Focus_Areas_Under_New_Leadership\"><\/span><strong>Strategic Focus Areas Under New Leadership<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Ramesh Kumar Juneja\u2019s leadership, CLE is expected to prioritize initiatives such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Market diversification<\/strong> to reduce dependence on traditional markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhancing <strong>value-added exports<\/strong> like finished leather goods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthening trade linkages with major markets like the European Union and the United States.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting sustainability and innovation in the leather value chain.<br>These areas are critical for maintaining and improving India\u2019s export performance in the coming years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Industry_and_International_Collaborations\"><\/span><strong>Industry and International Collaborations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from his role at CLE, Juneja also serves as <strong>Vice-Chairman of the Indo-Italian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong>, where he fosters investments and collaborations between India and Italy across sectors including leather, infrastructure, and railways. His international experience and network are expected to boost India\u2019s leather export initiatives and help secure trade partnerships that are strategically significant for long-term
