Jain International Trade Organisation

Founded in 2007, JITO unites the global Jain community through business, service, and dharmic principles

JITO's mission is rooted in the belief that economic empowerment and spiritual values are complementary forces. Under Aacharya Shri's guidance, JITO has become a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, capacity building, and social service β€” all anchored in the ethical principles of Jain Dharma. From a single chapter in India, JITO has expanded to nearly 100 chapters globally in less than two decades.

Jain International Organisation

Beyond JITO, Aacharya Shri also established the Jain International Organisation (JIO) β€” a broader platform dedicated to uniting the global Jain community across spiritual, cultural, educational, and social dimensions.

Together, JITO and JIO represent a comprehensive vision: a Jain community that is spiritually grounded, economically empowered, culturally vibrant, and globally connected. This dual-organization model is a unique innovation in community building.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded JITO's contributions to India's self-reliance vision and its efforts in education, health, and entrepreneurship β€” recognizing it as a model for community-driven national development."
