Why India

A front-row seat to the transformations shaping tomorrow​

India embodies both the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of prosperity. Its remarkable innovation ecosystem, entrepreneurial energy and growing influence on the global stage make it a compelling setting to explore how growth, opportunity and women's participation can advance together.​

Hosted in Mumbai, India's financial capital and one of Asia's leading business hubs, the Global Meeting will bring together diverse perspectives to explore the ideas, partnerships and solutions that can help shape a more prosperous future.​

Who is it for 

For leaders navigating transformation​

Designed for senior decision-makers across business, government, investment, academia and civil society, the Global Meeting brings together those responsible for anticipating change, making strategic choices and shaping long-term impact in an increasingly complex world.​

What you'll experience

Ideas, debates and conversations that stay with you​

Today's defining challenges cannot be understood through a single lens. The future of work is shaped by technology, education and demography. Economic resilience depends on inclusion, health and access to opportunity. Innovation raises questions that are as much human and cultural as they are technological.​

The Global Meeting brings these different perspectives into conversation. ​

The programme examines not only how the world is changing, but how leaders can turn today's transformations into opportunities for growth, innovation and shared prosperity.​

Expect fresh insights, unexpected connections and conversations that resonate long after the event.​
