The harbingers of goodness or good work, do not ask for an acknowledgement. They serve their cause, dedicate it to the society and bid adieu to the world. It is for the latter to pick up from there and add on the initiatives. It is also left to the society to acknowledge good deeds and celebrate such icons whose works constitute landmarks for replication. Not doing that is actually not being fair to them. Just a few stray mentions here and there actually does not suffice. A proper enunciation of the contributions of a person duly communicated to the world through popular media only, typically, does justice to both: the achiever, as well as the society and the posterity. Hitherto, however, there has been a void in this domain and there has been a dire need to fill the bill.

Today, there are thousands of written works on any given subject. But, if you wish to learn about the great works of legendary people or about themselves for the sake of emulation, you may not find enough for the simple reason that most do not consider such coverages “commercially viable”. This is the same reason that most social workers, who have lived selfless lives doing their all for the cause of the society, have remained nameless, faceless and have died unknown. We have dubbed them "silent social activists", but not because they would have shunned an acknowledgment, but because it is us who do not give a voice to their activism. This is sad, ghastly and deplorable.

We, at Icon Publications have been concerned about this apathy, and defying all norms of business models, we have pledged to contribute our best and also elicit broad based initiatives by others, in the area of documenting, acknowledging and celebrating good deeds and the icons.

As the name implies, Icon Publications engages itself in rendering the aforesaid service. It is a banner beneath which there are a host of sites in diverse arenas that contribute to the well being of the society. Each site talks of the people who have done laudable work, and provides an insight into their lives and philosophies, reaching them out to millions of people who have all along wanted to know about them.

Like, our site India Inc focuses on inspirational insights on our entrepreneurs and businessmen who are bringing India into the limelight. Our site Samaritan paystribute to people from different walks of life who wished to see a change in the society and decided to take action themselves. Many entrepreneurs and businessmen and women from around the world are again listed in this particular site to bring to the notice of people on how business and philanthropy often go hand-in-hand in the upliftment of society. Energy India, is dedicated to stalwarts from the all-important catalyst infrastructure arena of energy in india , who are working hard at improving the power situation of our country though their dedication and sparks of innovative ideas.

"Rajiv Gandhi …the saga lives on" is a biography of one of the most loved leaders to grace our nation, Rajiv Gandhi. A benchmark in goodness, Rajiv was a man of rare sensitiveness and an apostle of peace. He was a man in a hurry, but then those who pursue their dream of establishing a welfare society to rid the entire populace of peril, cannot afford to work at a leisurely pace. 31st October, 1984, brought with it the much needed gust of fresh air to Indian politics when he became the Prime minister of India. He infused the country with the youthful energy, a modern outlook and reforms, so desperately needed. During his tenure, India entered the period of globalization, modernization and harmonizing relations with countries all over. The site is our tribute to the man who was more than a statesman par excellence.

India Matters exhorts Indians from different walks of life who have contributed to the nation in their own ways. They are the ones who have been making us prouder still of the fact that we are Indians. Brand Equity was our attempt to bring to attention the men and women who catapult companies and organisations from obscurity to prominence, from known to famous with their talent for the right Corporate Communication. These stalwarts of Corporate Communications have to be the jack of all trades and masters of many at the same time, a quality that deserves kudos.

Our site, Corporate Dossier features the vignette of some of the greatest leaders of our time. They are the doyens of substance, from around the world, who stand as the living proof that leaders are not made. They are made. Brand Builders, on the other hand, celebrates the value creators of some of the most famous companies known. These PR practitioners, who often remain the background, are the backbone of their organisations since they build the brand equity of the company. Our initiative is not just to acknowledge the people who are in the limelight, but to recognize those who have made achievements and those who are on their path to success. We also wished to bring to notice the achievers who believe that progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be, just like people who are featured on this site.

Fourth Estate features profiles of people from the media. People who have changed the way media functioned in the past era. These media barons, reporters and journalists have taken Media to a whole new level and have been instrumental in the developments of the nation. The new wave of Indian media now carries the voice of the people, louder and clearer than ever before.

Our site Banking India highlights those people who have taken the banking sector to a new platform. They have not only brought international standards into India but have become accessible to people even in the remotest parts of the country. With new policies and loan plans, they have already financed a million dreams. They have set the wheels of development in motion.

These are men and women who are adding value to our society everyday through their work, time and dedication to a great spirit called universal brotherhood.

If one gets down to listing the luminaries aglow in the hallowed sky, the list turns out to be rather endless. Nevertheless, an earnest effort has been made in this site on talent to list the great people in all spheres of life – be it social work, education, healthcare, industry, science & technology, media, art & culture or any other arena of social cognizance.

It has been our endeavour to bring to the notice of the world how our achievers, young and old, have added to the halo of 'mankind'. In reading about them, perhaps, many more would emulate and score even higher and further.

Ours is a pedestal to remind the world of some of the greatest legends who have worked hard to transform the planet of the past to a world of the present and forever striving to improve it at making it a better place to live in. We consider it our duty and an honor to bring sung and unsung heroes of today to the forefront where their efforts could gain cognizance. Our salutes to the legends, of the past and present, for beating down a path for the future to follow. These, in fact, are the true leaders of the nation for it is they who are working against all odds to catapult global fortunes, selflessly. They are the ones who truly are catapulting our world to the path of success and prosperity in more fields than one. They are an inspiration, the torch burners, who are paving the route to universal brotherhood and integration.
