Srinagar, Aug 28 (KNS): A new quarterly business magazine, Prime Business Voice, was launched here on Friday with a focus on Kashmir’s entrepreneurs, enterprises and emerging economic opportunities.
The publication, founded by media professional Rouf Majid, will cover business, technology, policy and economic affairs, while highlighting developments in investment, tourism, governance, environment, corporate social responsibility and other emerging sectors.
The launch event was attended by representatives from the business community, government, healthcare, architecture, engineering, legal and hospitality sectors.
Rouf Majid, Editor and Publisher of the magazine, said Prime Business Voice was launched to bring greater focus to the work and contribution of entrepreneurs and professionals in Jammu and Kashmir.
