The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCC&I) in collaboration with Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management (EIILM), Kolkata organised a CxO FORUM on the theme "Think Smart, Act Proper" on 31st August, 2019 (Saturday) at Bhasha Bhawan Auditorium, National Library, Alipore, Kolkata.

The collaborative joint Forum "Think Smart, Act Proper" initiated an active dialogue amongst leaders in the Indian corporate industry. The Forum was an ideal platform for today's eminent CEOs and CXOs to meet and inspire the young generation and Entrepreneurs of tomorrow. It is in this context, EIILM Kolkata had taken initiative to hold a CXO FORUM in association with The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry to discuss the emerging issues specific to the industry or domain and throw light on the relevant aspects of each with a view to catch up with the new trends of the consumer minds and to scale out potential opportunities of new business horizons in the world.

The highlight of this program runs as follows:
▪  Thinking beyond the existing domain to identify and recognise new areas of thought across.

▪  Identifying the parameters which would connect the current period with the future world of thoughts and practices in the context of Business and Industry.

▪  Identifying the parameters from the practice world particularly from various functional areas within each industry or domain of business to sensitize the relevant issues for creating excellence in deliveries in the future period.

▪  Integrating the world of business and industry with the world of thoughts and spirits in a holistic manner for the best sustainability of the global system.
