Shri Arvind Gupta, CEO, MyGov as the Guest of Honor for the event, will share his immense knowledge and experience on how the private sector through volunteering and CSR initiatives can work with the government to help create sustainable impact. He will also talk about how corporates can align their volunteering goals to the national causes through the Self4Society portal.

The CLC has grown over the years to become the largest IT-BPM specific CSR conference. This year the CLC will host the leadership from across all relevant stakeholder groups involved in the CSR ecosystem – The IT Industry, NGOs, Social Enterprises and Ecosystem support agencies.
