-   Summary of a family business case on Dabur India Limited

-   Inspirations from the life of Aditya Vikram Birla

We hope that you will find these interesting and inspiring.

8th Asian Invitational Conference on Family Business: We received many requests from family business community members in favour of an in-person conference. With the decline in Covid-19 infection cases in India and the ongoing vaccination, the scenario looks positive. Therefore, we have decided to defer the conference by a few months. We believe that an in-person conference will be possible in the last quarter of this year. We will inform you soon about the revised conference dates. We look forward to your participation in this event!  

As always, I encourage you to send your feedback and share suggestions about something interesting and relevant, which you may want us to include in future.

Best regards,
Ram
