The summit saw a total of 119 entries from 38 PSUs were evaluated before selecting the winners and the jury comprised of eminent personalities from civil services, media and academicians.

The summit focuses on the corporate communication of PSUs as they are vital for strategic management of an organization. With the rise in social media and the way people perceive information, the ability of corporate communication professionals to effectively communicate becomes of importance with the development of new technologies and fresh communication analytics. This makes the role of corporate communication professionals’ more than just managing stakeholders and shareholders with proper use of social media for enhancing customer satisfaction and public confidence. The summit thus throws light on the media, world economy, geo-political scenarios and the role of corporate communication and public relation professionals in it.
