About the Association

Like many great organizations ABCI was started by a group of visionaries who wanted to make a difference in their profession.

Initially christened as "Indian Association of Industrial Editors (IAIE)", it was the first organization for professional communicators in India started way back in 1956. IAIE was formed under the Society Act, 1860, of the Charity Commissioner, Mumbai.

The Association of Business Communicators of India (ABCI) is the only Association in India recognizing and rewarding excellence in Business Communications. The Annual Awards Nite has been a Gallantry Function in the Corporate Circle in Mumbai, in which ABCI had felicitated many stalwarts from the profession of Communications. With a view to benchmark the Professionalism into Business Communications, ABCI has launched an Accreditation Programme wherein the Senior Communication Professionals, purely on Merit were awarded Fellowship of the Brains Trust. It was for the first time that an Accreditation Programme, for communication fraternity had taken place and ABCI was the one who pioneered it in India. The Association has members list featuring names like Tata Steel, Larsen & Toubro, SAIL, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Glaxo, Pfizer, Aditya Birla Group, Bharat Petroleum, ONGC, Indian Oil, Reserve Bank of India, SBI, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, IDBI, NABARD, Union Bank, Canara Bank , LIC etc.

From 2004 ABCI has been headed by Mr. Yogesh Joshi, who is one of the Senior Communication Professionals in India and coincidentally the 25th President of ABCI. Under his Presidential tenure, ABCI has shown unprecedented growth and has become highly active in the Business Communications & P R fraternity across India.

About the Annual Awards

ABCI's big moment arrived when it raised the curtains on the prestigious awards show. This year, ABCI receive 1425 nominations from 32 categories, it means that 44 nominations in each of the categories. Also ABCI nominations are non-repetitive in nature, which means you can't file a table calendar in to wall calendar category and vice versa. Also noteworthy, that we have received these nominations without any single newspaper advertisement, hence it is commendable to receive so many nominations without any support from any of the Media.

The starry March sky above The Presidency Radio Club where a galaxy of brilliant communicators here. The best among the best were recognized with awards in various categories. In order to honor such talent, ABCI had invited Mr Mohan Tanksale, Chief Executive of Indian Banks` Association and Former CMD of Central Bank of India as a chief Guest. Top favorite contenders seemed to be Indian Oil Corporation, Larsen & Toubro, Maxposure Group and Union Bank of India. These four companies took away cartloads of awards. These four Companies also took away the most coveted - the 'Champion of Champion Trophy'. The awards ceremony concluded, very fittingly, with a grand celebration. Time finally sat down to celebrate the evening in small unhurried sips.
