It has over 35 chapters globally including the one Luxembourg, ICAI Lux, which launched in June 2020. The first in-person event of ICAI-Lux had to be postponed to 2022 due to COVID-19-related restrictions.

Speaking to Chronicle.lu, Anjani Ladia, Chairman of the Luxembourg Chapter of Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI Lux), said: "This event will be a launch pad for the local business and investment community in Luxembourg to know more about the opportunities that India has to offer. The event will cover the Indian Government’s new focus sectors, new reforms, changes implemented for ease of doing business in India and what to expect in the Indian environment with some key considerations". He emphasised that "the event evening will give the vibrant feeling of the Indian diaspora and will facilitate and honour individuals / organisations who are living in Luxembourg and over the years contributed to the growth and recognition of India in Luxembourg with the first edition of 'Indo-Luxembourg Achievers' Awards in association with Indian Achievers' Forum, India".
