To encourage intrest in the subject of business history and help appreciate the role of archives in understanding how business influences life patterns of any country and its people, Godrej Archives and Tata Central Archives started an annual lecture series from the year 2006. We believe that this lecture series will help generate awareness about archiving corporate heritage of the country.
