ABOUT US

IDEOLOGY

The liberalization of trade and growth influenced by the remarkable performance of information technology, communications and bio-technology, has set a new belief that role of the State is reduced and that the Start-ups and MSMEs are emerging as a fuel to the national economy.

In most of the developed countries, it is a common perception that the Corporate sector can and should contribute not only to their own shareholder returns but that such returns, in the long term are intimately linked to the wider community in which they operate.

India is the largest democracy and the fifth largest economy of the world. There are more than 1600 languages and dialects spoken by a population of over one billion. The opportunities and conditions for growth in India requires a commitment by various national and international organizations to praise the achievements of the every sector that contribute to the development of human capital.

Indian Achievers’ Forum draws attention on the theme “how the successful achievers can help the social & economic infrastructural development in and around the country.” It provides examples of social entrepreneurs and successful models of the society and corporate sector partnership. 

Since the rapid growth and development of the Indian economy has increased the need for a common platform where all the sections of community can discuss the major issues of India’s economic growth. Indian Achievers’ Forum is the platform which engages in developing and sharing ideas, opinions and knowledge on the key issues. 

An approach by Indian Achievers’ Forum that places emphasis on beneficiary participation will create awareness in all sectors and move towards stronger and more collaborative partnership for social development causes.

MESSAGES

Sunil Shastri
Chief Patron, Indian Achievers' Forum

I have been associated with Indian Achievers’ Forum (IAF) since its inception in 2000. I would like to add my perspective to the latter through my personal experiences of learning from none other than my father, the former prime minister of India Late Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri. Once I had lost my temper at one of the helpers in our house. But on my father’s instance, I learnt that how apologizing to someone below your stature can actually make you a better human being. I learnt that even when one achieves the highest status in life, there is absolutely no excuse for thinking less of anyone. I feel delighted to represent a forum that has been actively involved in not only highlighting the great achievements of people but also in promoting traders, businesses and social welfare activities in various fields from arts to science and technology.

Harish Chandra
President-IAF & Editor, Achievers’ World​ and CSR Times

India is a country of constant growth with hidden talent waiting to be discovered, nurtured and recognised. We wanted to make sure this talent not going to waste… and that is how Indian Achievers’ Forum took its inception with a philosophy that “anybody and everybody can be an achiever, if he or she is guided in the right direction.” At Indian Achievers’ Forum, we encourage dreamers and performers to collaborate, synergize, exchange ideas and lead our nation towards socioeconomic growth. The mantra of IAF is “to succeed, but never at the cost of our planet.”  This Forum is a multi-dimensional and our programmes benefit in many ways. They open new opportunities, improve skills, boost businesses, introduce severals local entrepreneurs to the global market, and invite international companies to invest in India.
