The India Business Conference is the premier India-focused annual conference organized by Columbia Business School in New York City. It is a powerful forum that inspires thought-leadership and generates discussions around the business, social, political, and creative undercurrents that permeate Indian life.
The theme of the 2021 conference was 'India in the new world order'. We brought together 400+ participants and 10+ speakers spread across several sessions to discuss and ideate India's drive towards self-reliance, as it positions itself in a Post-COVID-19 world. The conference brought together such voices at the forefront as they shared their stories, challenged conventional wisdom and provided insights into the future they are writing – the future of a “new” India. The 16th edition of the conference was held virtually and was brought to you by the students of Columbia Business School, Columbia Global Center and the Jerome A. Chazen Institute for Global Business. |
