Organized by Brand Vista Consulting, this landmark event brought together prominent policymakers, business leaders, social innovators, and youth change agents who collectively reinforced a shared vision for a developed, inclusive, and self-reliant India by 2047.
The event was inaugurated in the esteemed presence of Shri Syed Shahnawaz Hussain Ji, Former Union Minister and Member of Parliament, who shared his passionate vision of holistic development for India. In his keynote address, he emphasized the power of unity, inclusive growth, and collaborative leadership, saying, "A Viksit Bharat cannot be built in isolation--it requires collective ownership of progress by every citizen and sector."
The theme of the conference, "Unity for Growth", was powerfully reflected in the message shared by the organizers. Grounded in the spirit of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - The World is One Family," the conference emphasized collaboration over competition, encouraging industries, institutions, and individuals to embrace a more humanitarian and cooperative approach to nation-building.
Dynamic Panels & National Dialogue
The conference featured two high-impact panel discussions that sparked deep and forward-looking conversations:

Mr. Vikas Chaudhary, Chairperson, Swadeshi Jagran Manch, also delivered an impactful talk.
