Commonwealth Business

The Commonwealth Business Club India will strive to draw high-power business delegations from offshore to India during the Games and enable them to leverage the unfolding opportunity for transacting business and enjoy the Games.

The OC CWG Delhi 2010 joined hands with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) on 22 September 2009 to effectively use the Delhi 2010 platform to facilitate deeper economic and trade relationships amongst the Commonwealth fraternity.
This coming together of a national sports body and a national business chamber with a huge global presence and outreach is expected to galvanise the sporting and the business communities into spearheading and spreading the culture of sports and endeavour to raise sports sponsorships and also market India as a preferred business partner and destination.
Towards this end, the OC CWG Delhi 2010 and FICCI have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enable the OC CWG Delhi 2010-led Commonwealth Business Club India (CBCI), achieve these objectives.
Going forward, OC CWG Delhi 2010 and FICCI will work towards spreading the culture of sport. They will share information on events, publications and activities of interest to the organisations and their stakeholders, work towards raising awareness among sports bodies and academic institutions and ensure safe working and sporting environment.

Sports

There are 17 disciplines planned for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Kabaddi will also be a demonstration sport at the 2010 Games.^[15]
The triathlon appears likely to be excluded from these games as there is no suitable location for the swimming stage. The organisers have also proposed removing basketball, but want to include archery, tennis, and billiards and snooker for men. Cricket, although in strong demand, may not make a come-back as the Board of Control for Cricket in India were not keen on a Twenty20 tournament, but the organisers did not want a one day tournament.^[16]
