This Year's Theme
India in Transition: Changes and the Way Forward
This year's theme invites participants to critically examine India's transformation — economic, social, technological, legal, and entrepreneurial — by analysing trends, patterns, and turning points across time. The focus is not just on outcomes, but on the choices, constraints, and trade-offs that shaped them.
