As a society and a public relations sector we approach 2022 with resilience and the hope of continuing to evolve during the pandemic.

The pandemic has also brought swift change to the PR business in India, putting greater responsibility on the emerging leaders of tomorrow for PR.

Sujit Patil, the jury co-chair for 3030 and vice president and head, corporate brand and communications, Godrej Industries said, "Today PR significantly impacts multiple levers – corporate reputation, employee retention, crisis mitigation, sales, product brands, stock price, stakeholder engagement and many more. Even more so post-pandemic.

At the same time, it's going through immense change, change at the level we have never seen before. Picking up from there, we would like to know from the entrants as the next generation of PR leaders, what do they think about the reputational role of PR, especially now.

The question is, what would you as a leader do differently to ensure that the PR business gets its long-overdue place in the communication sun. A campaign idea from you on how to demonstrate the reputational power of PR would help us understand your perspective and contribution towards raising the bar of our industry."

With that in mind PRmoment India is very pleased to open the call for entries for the Godrej PRmoment Adfactors 3030 for the year 2022! In its eighth edition now, the PRmoment India 3030 is the defining platform that honours young PR talent in India.

In such a scenario we need emerging PR leaders who are already thinking about being relevant 3 years down the line and not just in 2022. Leadership quality, strategic counsel will decide the future success of PR.
