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 this year’s conference is 'India in the new world order'. We are bringing together 300+ participants, 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 will bring together such voices at the forefront as they share their stories, challenge conventional wisdom and provide insights into the future they are writing – the future of a “new” India. The 16th edition of the conference will be held virtually and is brought to you by the students of Columbia Business School, Columbia Global Center and the Jerome A. Chazen Institute for Global Business. |
