Abstract: Abstract The CSR mandate was passed under the Companies Act, 2013; however, India Inc. faced great challenges in the transition and in the initial period of its implementation: How does a Corporation organize itself to shoulder this responsibility? Who are its partners? How to choose credible partners? What were the qualifications expected from the people who did CSR? All these concepts needed to be worked out, sorted. CSR, with the passing of the mandate, came to the ‘Boardroom from the backroom’, that required professional intervention. This paper, seeks to understand the various dynamics of CSR implementation, as put forward by the mandate, from an exclusive interview of Dr. Bhaskar Chatterjee (B.C), the man who was instrumental in incorporating it.
