Mumbai: The India Today Conclave, a premier platform for thought leadership and transformative discussions, returns for its 22nd edition on March 7-8, 2025, at Taj Palace, New Delhi. With the theme ‘The Age of Acceleration,’ this year’s Conclave will explore the forces reshaping the global landscape, from rapid technological advancements to geopolitical shifts and societal transformation.
In an era where disruption fuels progress, conventional assumptions about the future are being challenged and redefined. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep-tech innovations are revolutionizing economies, governance, and communication while also reshaping geopolitical power structures. As traditional economic models and global alliances evolve, India emerges as a pivotal player, balancing technological advancement with a human-centric approach to development.
The India Today Conclave 2025 will bring together visionaries, policymakers, industry leaders, and cultural influencers to discuss key issues such as:
AI and the Future of Work – Ethical, economic, and employment implications
Globalization vs. Protectionism – The paradox of interconnectivity
Digital Sovereignty – Governance in a data-driven world
Economic Realignments & Emerging Markets – India’s leadership in a shifting global order
As India navigates the Age of Acceleration, this platform will offer insights, innovations, and strategies that shape its trajectory on the world stage.
