About Us

 

CRBiz, Corporate Responsibility in Business, was born in 2006, as a print monthly magazine. It is the first publication of its kind which was devoted exclusively to promote responsible business in the country. The publication continued for five years enjoying a steady circulation among business houses and civil society organizations.  The coverage was extensive bringing to its readers' news and views from the world of responsible business in India and abroad. Many international CSR experts contributed their writings which covered the emerging trends in the area of corporate social responsibility abroad.

 Though the print edition enjoyed a good circulation the revenues were low. With increasing costs of paper and printing, we were forced to suspend the publication. Though a few corporate were willing to provide finance all were with strings attached. To guard our independence we decided to pull down shutters for some time.

 With the advent of online publications, we have decided to revive ourselves as an online publication initially as a Blog working up to build a web publication in the very near future. We hope to ring to our readers the coverage which marked our print publication. With the growing popularity of CSR, particularly after 2013, we believe that there will many more readers.

Over the years several print publications on CSR have come into the market, each claiming to be the first. These claims are not supported by facts. We are confident that CRBiz will once again become the trend setting in CSR Reporting.

 The Editor, Suresh Kr Pramar, has been a newsman since 1964 working with various publications in the country. For almost 25 years he covered the states of the North East. For two years he was the Editor of Kuensel, a publication of the Royal Government of Bhutan. He has written for international publications like the Far Eastern Economic Review, Asiaweek, Asian Tribune, etc.

For the past decade and more Suresh Kr Pramar is involved in social work promoting Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Entrepreneurship. He is the Managing Trustee of the Global Gandhian Trusteeship and Responsible Business Foundation.
