The 23rd edition of the India Today Conclave is being held in New Delhi on March 13–14, 2026, bringing together leaders from politics, business, technology, and culture for two days of discussions on global and national developments. This year’s theme, “Year of Breakthroughs and Breakdowns,” reflects the rapidly changing global environment shaped by technological progress, geopolitical tensions, economic shifts, and climate challenges.
The annual summit serves as a platform for policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and cultural figures to exchange ideas on pressing issues ranging from artificial intelligence and economic transformation to governance and global alliances. Conversations at the event aim to explore how governments and organisations are responding to emerging technologies, supply-chain disruptions, and evolving geopolitical dynamics.
The conclave features several thematic sessions covering politics and policy, technology and entrepreneurship, defence and security, culture, and wellness. Participants in the Global Pivot segment include Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Ashwini Vaishnaw, along with international ambassadors and geopolitical experts.
Political discussions will include leaders such as K.C. Venugopal, M. Thambi Durai, and Manickam Tagore, while defence and security conversations will feature experts from organisations including DRDO and the Drone Federation of India.
The event also brings voices from entertainment, business, and culture. Actors Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, and Suniel Shetty are part of the High-octane Notes segment. In the technology and entrepreneurship track, industry leaders such as Anil Agarwal, Gautam Hari Singhania, and Karan Adani will share perspectives on innovation and economic growth.
With its diverse lineup of speakers, the India Today Conclave 2026 aims to provide a comprehensive view of the forces shaping India and the world in an era of rapid transformation.
