About The Forum
The Indian Achievers’ Forum (IAF) is an apex body, established in the year 2000, and is driven by a full-fledged advisory board that consists of senior leaders, prominent bureaucrats, famous journalists, renowned corporate CEOs, industry experts, consultants and subject matter specialists to make India proud at the national and international level.
We bring professionals and social entrepreneurs together through conferences, seminars, social events, networking sessions, knowledge sharing programmes, exhibitions, and other initiatives that promote social entrepreneurship. In the past two decades, we have organized more than 200 such programmes in India and abroad where more than a lakh participants took part. We also publish two prominent magazines CSR TIMES & Achievers’ World.

Testimonials
“I want to express my gratitude to CSR TIMES and all organizations of this summit for bringing together such an inspiring group of individuals. This summit would not only highlight our CSR work in Goa which could inspire other states, but also open up doors for you to explore opportunities of expanding your CSR activities in Goa.”
I congratulate all the Award winners who have made India proud with their extraordinary achievements. The Forum is definitely in line with our endeavour to make India a superlative country.
Overall employment in the country is rising in new areas in spite of marginal decline in the traditional trades. The leaders of MSMEs participating in this Summit could help generate many more new jobs.
It is important to acknowledge an extraordinary achievement that make India proud. These achievers have done great job and the Forum that is recognizing them is worth a million of applauds.
It is always a delight to be present amongst inspiring people. I am so happy that this forum has organised such an event in my country. Congratulations to all the winners.
“Skill, Re-skill and Upskill our young population and they’d become the best pillars of Viksit bharat. Let’s join together forces and make Goa a model state in CSR projects.”
“It’s important to recognise and honour those who’ve gone above and beyond in their CSR efforts. CSR award winners present in this hall are shining examples of what can be achieved when businesses come together to making a difference.”
