The younger professionals consist of Supporters and Friends who contribute time and ideas to the smooth running of the various initiatives.

According to the summit co-chairs - “Corporate communications and PR professionals in India have very few annual events that they can easily access on an annual basis. We felt there was a need to create an event that brings together professionals from corporate communications departments and PR firms to learn, to share and meet each other beyond organizational affiliations. This is a sincere effort at making the profession get its due and celebrates the true-blue professional. The response has been very encouraging and we are confident this will become a much sought after event in the years to come”.

Shane Jacob and Amith Prabhu – both of whom work full-time with leading Public Relations firms are summit co-chairs and are putting together PRAXIS 2012 in their spare time with the help of like-minded professionals from 15 other organisations who are all trying to create a platform for the profession on a voluntary basis.
