A decade of excellence

Corporate Citizen is completing a decade of excellence and has brought many new themes and discussions to the eyes of leaders nationwide. Vinita is one of India’s best journalists, editors and publishers and should take credit for all the milestones achieved by the magazine. It has been my privilege to write ‘The Last Word’ column on the last page for many years and I wish the producers and well-wishers a stimulating next ten years.

A business magazine with a difference

In the ten years of its existence, Corporate Citizen has established itself as a business magazine with a difference, focusing as it does on the human stories of grit, gumption, entrepreneurship and the person behind the high-flying corporate persona. All in all, a well-balanced and quality magazine. One that lives up to its tagline “The cool side of business”. My best wishes and congratulations to the team.

Makes reading interesting and fair

My best wishes to Corporate Citizen magazine for its 10th anniversary milestone. My favourite is the Editor’s column as it speaks of current issues frankly, candidly and forthrightly, reminding me of the late Rahul Bajaj. The magazine covers various topics which are relevant to the youngsters, the executives as well as leaders of the corporate world. I also appreciate that, instead of taking the views of just one person, you take the opinion of people with different views. This makes reading interesting and fair. The stories of young achievers are also inspiring, particularly to the young reader. I feel sorry for those who don’t read Corporate Citizen.

A knowledge driven magazine

My cherished association with the Corporate Citizen magazine is from the time of its inception. I have seen it evolve over a decade into a much more knowledge driven magazine. The cover story is unique each time and has been the hook for its regular readers. Also, the personal stories shared by alumni of the institute are always full of learnings about how they are walking the tight rope of growth and success in their professional and personal lives. I wish the magazine team and readers all the best for constant enrichment in times to come.

Refreshingly different style of covering business and businesspersons

Associated with the magazine since the beginning, I wrote a slew of Dynamic Duo cover stories. Over this decade, Corporate Citizen’s has proved its mettle thanks to its refreshingly different style of covering business and businesspersons, and established itself in a market that seemed to be overcrowded. It’s been fun, and promises to be more as we go along.
