When Ashok Advani conceived of the idea of a mainstream, business magazine in 1978, he had a very clear vision. That vision was to create a climate in which business and entrepreneurship would flourish and would facilitate the Indian economy to rapidly join the ranks of the more advanced world economies.
By providing a leadership of ideas to the business community and policy makers, and by enlightening the lay readers Business India has played a significant role as a catalyst to shape government policy and help unleash the intellectual capital, entrepreneurial skill, business talent and natural resources that this country had to offer.
Today this credo is as valid as it was in 1978. Over the last twenty-eight years, the magazine has in fact remained committed to its values and beliefs. In the process it has built enormous goodwill and a loyal following in corporate India. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in many ways Business India is the voice of corporate India at its best. Which is why Business India has a national presence, commands respect from the business community, government and industry leaders.
