Journalism is the force behind progressive social change and these journalists, with their in-depth knowledge, sheer analysis, and grit, write articles that have a far-reaching impact among various stakeholders. I believe this profession reflects the values of discipline, integrity, ambition, and pride, which are also the values that drive the culture of L&T Financial Services.
