Srinagar, Aug 28 (JKNS): Prime Business Voice, a new quarterly business publication dedicated to showcasing Kashmir’s entrepreneurs, enterprises, and emerging economic potential, was formally launched today at a prominent hotel in Srinagar.
Founded by media veteran Rouf Majid, who brings nearly 15 years of international media experience to the venture, the magazine aims to serve as an authoritative editorial platform for the region’s commercial and professional ecosystem. The launch ceremony convened a distinguished audience of business leaders, government officials, healthcare practitioners, architects, engineers, legal professionals, and hospitality stakeholders.
Conceived as an editorially led publication covering business, technology, policy, and economic affairs, Prime Business Voice will highlight the innovation, resilience, and growth driving businesses across the Kashmir Valley. Its mandate covers critical conversations surrounding investment, tourism, environmental Issues, governance, corporate social responsibility (CSR), legal frameworks, and emerging market opportunities.
“Kashmir possesses a remarkable community of entrepreneurs and professionals whose contributions often remain under-reported,” said Rouf Majid, Editor and Publisher of Prime Business Voice. “This platform is created to bring those stories into focus while providing credible analysis of the region’s economy. We aim to encourage an informed discourse – one that celebrates achievement, addresses challenges transparently, and explores future growth with a national and global perspective.”
Industry and professional leaders at the event welcomed the publication, highlighting how targeted business journalism will support their respective sectors:
* Javid Ahmad Tenga, President of Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), emphasized the magazine’s strategic role, stating, “Prime Business Voice arrives at a pivotal moment for our business community. By providing clear analysis and a platform for dialogue between entrepreneurs and policymakers, it will strengthen the voice of commerce, help our members navigate regulatory landscapes, and build connections that drive sustainable growth.”
* Dr. Salim Wani, prominent Urologist and Transplant Surgeon noted the vital connection between healthcare and economic policy, adding, “Healthcare thrives when medical professionals stay connected to broader developments in policy and business.

* Ar. Imtiyaz Ahmad Chiloo, a prominent architect-engineer highlighted the value of knowledge-sharing, noting, “Progress in architecture and engineering depends on forward-looking ideas.

* Najeeb A. Siddiqui, a representative of the hospitality sector remarked, “Kashmir’s tourism story relies on a vast network of hoteliers, transport providers, suppliers, and service workers. Giving these businesses structured visibility in media like Prime Business Voice will help demonstrate the true scale and economic contribution of the sector.”
