The seed for the Computer Society of India (CSI) was first shown in the year 1965 by a handful of IT enthusiasts who were a computer user group and felt the need to organize their activities. They also wanted to share their knowledge and exchange ideas on what they felt was a fast-emerging sector. Today the CSI takes pride in being the largest and most professionally managed association of and for IT professionals in India. The purposes of Society are scientific and educational directed towards the advancement of the theory and practice of computer science and IT.

The organization has grown to a desirable size of 1,50,000 strong members consisting of professionals with varied backgrounds including Software developers, Scientists, Academics, Project Managers, CIOs, CTOs & IT vendors to name a few.
