About Us | STC India

The India Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication (STC) was established in 1999 as a not-for-profit organization. STC India brings together the most skilled and talented technical writers from India and internationally to facilitate the sharing of information about trends, standards, best practices, and experiences within the industry. As a learning organization, we strive to organize learning sessions and provide a platform for the community in India to collaborate.

Our mission is to make the world’s information clearer and easier to use by improving how people learn, practice, and teach technical writing. We strive to bridge the gap left by the lack of formal education (for technical writing) in India, the limited availability of structured learning sessions, and the constantly evolving field of technical communication.

What started as a mailing list is today a thriving community of over 4000 technical communicators across the country, across domains, and across domains. Our programs and initiatives are focused on:

Raising awareness within the community in India
Empowering local communities to shape the global practice
Building bridges between information architecture and other allied disciplines

Our current offerings:

Learning Sessions
STC India Conferences
Targeted learning session for corporates
