Founded: 1968

Founder: S Viswanathan (SV)

Industrial Economist (IE) has stood steadfast through social, economic and technological changes since its inception in 1968. Throughout these years, IE has strived to present well-researched features and insights. Its founder, S Viswanathan (SV), served as the editor for the magazine for 53 years until he passed away while on a journalistic duty.  The family members of late S. Viswanathan have consented to allow Kothari Industrial Corporation Ltd. (KICL), the flagship company of the D. C. Kothari Group, to continue publishing Industrial Economist in both digital and print formats under a licensing agreement. IE will continue to focus on articulating development, providing in-depth coverage of ground-level happenings across business, commerce, industry and the economy. Our focus will be on articulating developmental issues and highlighting the happenings in the economy and corporate world. Our effort will be to disseminate news and views in a simple, reader-friendly and easy-to-comprehend way.
