Govt. Representations
The Charitable Group of Photographic Trade & Industry Association (CGPTIA) was established with the aim to unite individuals, corporates, and firms involved in the photographic trade. Since its inception, CGPTIA has been committed to the development and support of its members and the photographic industry through fairs, workshops, advocacy, and community service.
CGPTIA’s story began on 3rd August 1990, when a group of photo goods dealers and photo lab owners came together to form the Gujarat Photographic Dealers Association (GPDA) with just 25 members. As the association grew in strength and purpose, it was renamed to Gujarat Photographic Trade & Industry Association (GPTIA) in 2005. Eventually, it was restructured into a charitable organization known today as The Charitable Group of Photographic Trade & Industry Association (CGPTIA) under Reg. No. F/17270/Ahmedabad.
Today, CGPTIA boasts a vibrant and growing community with over 300 members across Gujarat, continuing its legacy of over 35 years of dedicated service to the photographic industry.
