He was speaking at a CII seminar in Mumbai on Monday on the topic ARISE: Accountability, Reforms, Innovation, Sustainability and Employment. It is mandatory for companies to earmark 2 percent of their profits for spending on corporate social responsibility activities.&nbsp;<br />”<br />”<br />”<span style="color: #222222;">Mr. Gandhi said disparity in development can be addressed when profit making companies decide to take responsibility to work for change.</span><br />
