Under the aegis of SAARC Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCI), a regional forum for private sector development in the seven SAARC countries, SAARC Council for IT Industry (SAARC-CIT) was established in 1999 as a regional forum for all IT association in the SAARC countries. The SAARC-CIT notified Bhutan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI), a member federation in the SCCI, in November 1999 for representation in the councils meeting scheduled in December 1999 at Kathmandu, Nepal. In the absence of IT association in Bhutan, BCCI Executive Committee in its 54th Committee Meeting on November 29, 1999 decided to call all ICT dealers in Bhutan for a meeting within December 15, 1999 to discuss the issue. |

In the IT dealers meeting on December 14, 1999 coordinated by BCCI, there was unanimous consensus to form "IT Association of Bhutan" as a forum to address specific problems and policies related to IT industry in Bhutan at national and regional level. Consequently, resolution was passed by the floor, to call general meeting of all IT Institutes, IT Vendors in May 2002 to discuss "modalities for institution of IT Association of Bhutan". Subsequently, all IT Institutes, IT Vendors met on May 7, 2002 in Thimphu in Office of the Rigsum Institute of Information Technology & Management.
