As an Editor of the Himmat magazine and also as an author of several books, Russi M. Lala exemplified courage, ethics and trust in God as a way of life.
Russi was one of the guiding spirits behind Initiatives of Change (IofC) and his passing away in 2012 deprived it of his spiritual and intellectual guidance.
In commemoration of his contribution to the IofC movement, Caux Initiatives for Business (CIB) has decided to institute an Annual Memorial Lecture Series to further sustainability and the importance of ethics and values in economic life and growth.
