Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plays a crucial role in the community vis-à-vis the corporate sector considering the environmental and social impact of business decisions. CSR is a “self-regulating business model” that implies the procedures of interaction by a company with its stakeholders and the general public at large, creating a scenario of being socially responsible.

The objective of the Award is to acknowledge, motive and incentivize corporate members for their contribution towards social and environmental goals and look at the CSR mandate as an opportunity to move towards strategic philanthropy, rather than an onerous compliance, with support from civil society and the State Governments to make a difference to the lives of people in the state.  

ASSOCHAM Southern region is organising the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability Awards to recognize companies that have made a positive impact from April 2022 to March 2023 through their innovative & sustainable CSR initiatives.


The vision of Digital India has set a new global benchmark for leveraging digital technologies for inclusive growth, good governance, and empowerment.

Medical devices, an integrated component of healthcare industry, represent a sunrise sector of the Indian economy. The size of the Indian medical devices market is estimated at USD 11 Billion, with a projected growth to USD 50 Billion by 2030.

India imports nearly 86% of its medical devices & it presents a large opportunity for the domestic industry to get into manufacturing of complex medical products like cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, medical imaging tools, ultrasonic scans, and PCR technologies. Recognizing a significant growth opportunity, both domestic and international medical device manufacturers are actively pursuing the untapped potential in the Indian market.

With this backdrop, ASSOCHAM is organising Medical Devices conference with the theme focusing on “Unlocking the Next Wave of Growth for the Medical Devices Sector”. This event aims to bring all key stakeholders together, including policy makers, regulators, central & states ministries, product manufacturers, investors, and academicians.

The stressed assets industry has evolved over the years in step with the changing landscape and regulations. There is now an entire ecosystem for attracting and resolving stressed assets in terms of players and resolution frameworks. Distressed asset and special situation funds have been setting up operations in India either through tie-ups with local partners or on a standalone basis.

Given the scale of stressed assets in India, the role of stakeholders involved in their resolution becomes critical. While resolution mechanisms such as Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act (SARFAESI), and Lok Adalat have been predominantly involved in resolution of stressed assets, entry of ARCs and the implementation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) have dialled up the momentum.  

Earlier six editions of the ASSOCHAM National Summit on Stressed Assets (Formerly Known as ARCs) received overwhelming response from the industry, in creating a vibrant platform for encouraging dialogue among policy makers, regulators and industry stakeholders.

In order to continue the dialogue, the ASSOCHAM is organizing 7th National Summit on Stressed Assets with an objective to analyse the problems in stressed asset industry in detail and to chart out the way forward to enhance functional effectiveness of the stress asset industry.


With significant changes in the accounting landscape and emerging audit practices to tackle the governance issues in financial reporting are gaining momentum, the Sustainability Accounting (SA) and Reporting is becoming a spotlight for the disclosure of non-financial information about a firm\'s performance.   

Reporting of sustainability factors to external stakeholders brings in return the added economic value for the firm as it focuses on activities that have a direct impact on society, environment, and economic performance. The significance of this strategic tool has increased given that it identifies, evaluates and manages social and environmental risks.

Since the adverse effect of greenwashing in financial reporting has impacted several corporates in various ways therefore the SA is being sought as a responsible counter measure that aims to protect the interest of all including inside and outside stakeholders and environmental factors in long-run.

Keeping in view the emerging issues, and challenges with respect to stakeholders’ interest and national and international regulatory interventions and related perspectives, ASSOCHAM is organizing International Conference on “Sustainability-Financial Accounting & Reporting: Emerging Trends, Audit Issues and Regulatory Interventions” on Monday, 26 February 2024 in Mumbai, India.

The conference will be addressed by officials from government and regulatory bodies, national and international eminent practitioners, industry experts from various sectors including accounting, auditing, regulatory, technology, financial reporting background.

ASSOCHAM is hosting Manufacturing Conclave 2024, focussing on ESG, Smart Logistics, Circularity, and Advance Digitization on Wednesday, 28th February 2024 at 10:00 a.m. at Hotel Swosti Premium, Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

Manufacturing and MSME sector, being positioned at the forefront of India\'s industrial and economic development, plays a pivotal role towards industrial development and growth and it makes substantial contributions to the nation\'s GDP and GVA. In leading the change towards net zero emissions and resilience and sustainable growth being so imperative in the face of climate change and resource scarcity, has underscored the necessity for a transformative shift towards sustainable practices.

The sector aligns seamlessly with India\'s commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2070. Embracing sustainability demands a proactive approach, where companies adopting ESG principles not only witness a positive impact on their business but contribute significantly to environmental preservation.

Historically the engineering/manufacturing industry, including MSMEs has been a driving force behind India\'s industrial and economic progress. Its significant contribution through domestic and international trade is undeniable. In order to bring further development in the manufacturing and MSME landscape and to have continued resilience and sustainable growth, factors like ESG, Green investments, and continuous innovation in areas like smart logistics, smart mobility, etc are crucial.

The conclave aims to shed light on strategic thinking, sustainable initiatives, stakeholder impact, and other crucial areas. It is designed to propel a vision for advancing the engineering and manufacturing ecosystem, including MSMEs/Startups within the context of globalization. Apart, the conclave would help to catalyze investments, focus on ESG practices, Smart logistics, Innovations, Sustainability, and Inclusive growth in the ongoing process of industrialization.

Members are requested to kindly participate at this very important conclave and take full advantage of the same.


The US Economic Espionage Act of 1996 delineates the term ‘trade secret’ and comprehensively covers all forms, types, mechanisms, and even information having economic value that may be at risk of theft, misappropriation, and claims. The gross impact of foreign economic espionage exposes much higher cross-border complexities and risks, unlike the impact of unfair and anti-competitive practices by a competitor in the local market or in a particular sector.

EU countries and the USA have promulgated laws to protect and provide for preventive measures, injunctions, and compensation for infringements of trade secrets and have introduced general measures to protect them through civil or commercial courts as well. Currently, businesses in India use their trade secrets within their limited means to exercise the clauses under a non-disclosure agreement or non-compete agreement with the parties. Furthermore, they implement a robust IT security infrastructure for controlling the accessibility of important trade secrets, which is always insufficient in the modern emerging digital landscape.

So far in India, protection against trade secrets and economic espionage is provided under the Civil Law, Criminal Law, and Information Technology Act, 2000, which is insufficient and requires a lot of clarity. Unauthorized and illegal exploitation of an unprotected trade secret, if it remains uncovered under the specific legislation, poses an international threat, a serious risk, and serious economic consequences. Thus, a codified law with a separate regulator and enforcement authority in lines of sectoral regulators such as Competition Commission of India would address the issue and protect the industries and economy at large.

In view of the above, amid subject-related ongoing international developments and in pursuance of a need for India to have futuristic legislation, The Law Commission of India and ASSOCHAM are organising First International Conference on “Protection of Trade Secrets and Economic Espionage: Trends and Impediments under Law, Regulation, and Enforcement” on March 6, 2024, in New Delhi.

The conference aims to invite national and international stakeholders to participate, delve into the high-level deliberations, and contribute to India’s progress in developing a model of legislation that balances and protects the trade secrets-related rights of all, including trade and industry.

Invitation for delegate nomination/ registration:

We take this opportunity to cordially invite you to join and/ or nominate your professional colleagues for their participation in the conference.
