The giver is Interactive Forum on Indian Economy(IFIE).The website www.ifie has a logo showing pencils. It depicts its aim-Catalysing Inclusive Growth; Objectives: Financial Inclusion, Taxation Issues, Insurance and Pension, Bullion and Jewellery Trade and Retail Trade.

However, the name of its owner(s) is not mentioned in the ifie. It means the award giver is in the process of growth with high aims. That's not bad though.
