CSRBOX has been hosting the annual India CSR Summit for the past 7 years. The Summit has been the largest CSR and social impact event in the South Asia region with participation of 1800 organisations and 2400+ delegates every year.

At the 8th India CSR Summit 2021 (7th-9th Dec 2021), we hosted CEOs Forum 2021: Leadership Perspective on Profit with Purpose, with following speakers:

Moderator: Mr. Rajen Makhijani, Client Partner and Leadership Advisory, Korn Ferry International

Mr. N K Chaudhary, Chairman and Managing Director, Jaipur Rugs

Mr. George Mattackal, President, Asia Pacific Global Delivery Centers of Excellence, CGI

Mr. Aftab Ullah, Chief Operating and Delivery Officer, Brillio

Dr. Bhaskar Chatterjee, CEO Anil Agarwal Foundation and Chairman DLC Global CSR & Philanthropy Committee

During this insightful discussion, the speakers shared their learnings, thoughts and experiences around the following points:

How do businesses look at 'profit with purpose' and how has the pandemic impacted their views on this

Can profit and purpose coexist for businesses in a highly competitive business environment? What are the driving factors for businesses to focus on both the Ps?

How has the board-room discussion shifted towards 'purpose' and what all it takes to convince shareholders for this shift?

Increasing global voices towards 'Net Zero' and India's own commitment of 'Net Zero by 2070' has begun conversations on how companies in India should look at their 'ESG' from a more powerful lens. What is the take of Indian corporate leadership on this?
