CEDA – Calcutta Electric Dealers Association was established in 1986 by a group of senior and respected electrical goods dealers with the objective of organizing, representing, and strengthening the dealer community in Kolkata. Since its inception, CEDA has consistently worked towards safeguarding the collective interests of its members and promoting the growth and stability of the electrical dealers’ trade.
CEDA began its activities from a modest setup in central Kolkata and gradually expanded its operational presence as the Association grew in strength and membership. Over time, the Association shifted its operations to Tiretta Bazar and subsequently established itself at its present address at 4 A SWAIKA CENTRE, 3rd Floor, Kolkata – 700001, which continues to serve as the Association’s administrative and meeting center.
A significant phase in the development of CEDA was marked by the establishment of its own association premises, achieved through the collective efforts and dedication of the office bearers and executive committee members. This milestone reflected the unity, commitment, and long-term vision of the Association towards creating a permanent platform for member interaction, meetings, and trade-related activities.
Over the years, CEDA has celebrated important milestones in its journey by organizing member gatherings, trade-oriented programs, and commemorative events. These occasions have served to strengthen fraternity among members and acknowledge the contributions of those who played a vital role in the Association’s progress. Such celebrations have always reflected CEDA’s tradition of honoring its members and reinforcing a sense of belonging within the dealer community.
CEDA continues to evolve with changing times and market dynamics. With a focus on modernization and improved member communication, the Association has adopted digital initiatives and structured systems to enhance transparency, accessibility, and member engagement. These efforts demonstrate CEDA’s commitment to progress while remaining rooted in its core values of unity, cooperation, and ethical business practices.
