Editorial
Our dear readers,
While business houses in India have been preoccupied through March closing their books of accounts, others like me have been busy opening new books. Insistent colleagues have written a bit of this recent development n the following pages.
Memories of the CIB Conference held from November 7 to 11, 2013 at Asia Pateau, Panchgani still lingers, despite the fact that months have rolled by since. This is why in this issue, we thought we should give you an opportunity to read excerpts of the speech given by B. Muthuraman, Chairman, Tata International Ltd., Vice Chairman, Tata Steel Ltd. and Padma Bhushan Awardee. (The Padma Bhushan is the third highest civilian award in the Republic of India and is awarded to recognise distinguished service of a high order to the nation.)
The CIB Mumbai Chapter moved strongly on to its second meeting, discussing ways to encourage people that it is possible to do business ethically while still remaining competitive. We have brought you a full report on the deliberations that took place in the IofC flat on Worli Sea ace, Mumbai and how they plan to take their Chapter forward. n addition, we wanted to let you know of other events that are to take place in the IofC calendar – programs for Educators and Families. We hought this will be useful information to you or anyone you know who may wish to participate.
Finally, we were truly overwhelmed by the feedback we received from you, dear readers. You have encouraged us greatly and have only deepened our resolve to give the best to make Caux Initiatives for Business a meaningful and vibrant platform of change.
Happy reading!
Mrs. Ishika Banerjee (née Neha Mukherjee)
