The main objective of these meetings is to address issues confronting the Hindu business community worldwide and promote the business interests of the communities in general.
The chief guiding principle of the Forum is to emphasise the importance of adhering to the law of the land and the guidance of the Hindu philosophy of honesty, integrity and accountability. Every country has its rules of governance, which must be followed in letter and spirit. For instance, the ways of doing business in China would be marked different from that of India.
The meetings of the Forum provide opportunities for delegates to network, exchange contacts and information and explore possibilities of business expansion.
