India Today Conclave 2025 returns on March 7-8 with ‘The Age of Acceleration’

The India Today Conclave 2025, one of the most prestigious platforms for thought leadership and dialogue, is set to return with its 22nd edition on March 7-8, 2025, in New Delhi.

This year’s theme, ‘The Age of Acceleration,’ will focus on the forces shaping the future—from technological revolutions and geopolitical shifts to societal transformations—offering crucial insights into the evolving global landscape.

As artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation redefine industries and governance at an unprecedented pace, the conclave will explore the opportunities and challenges of rapid digitalization. Discussions will address the ethical and economic impact of AI, digital sovereignty, and the paradox of globalization, where interconnectivity fosters both unity and division.

With the world witnessing economic realignments and shifting alliances, India stands as a stabilizing force, balancing technological innovation with a human-centric approach. The conclave will examine India’s evolving role in global power structures and how it can lead the Age of Acceleration with resilience and innovation.

The event will feature global thought leaders, policymakers, business magnates, and cultural icons, engaging in discussions on:
1. AI-driven economies and the future of employment
2. Governance in a data-driven world
3. The rise of automation and its impact on industries
4. Geopolitical strategies in an era of shifting alliances
5. The struggle between protectionism and openness

The two-day event will host a stellar lineup of political leaders, tech visionaries, business executives, and cultural influencers.

Amazing and grim battle for survival. Guess it will end up in Supreme Court. All that NCLT asked Zee to do was to file a reply to Invesco petition for a EGM. Now this is getting too serious. So far Invesco has been hammered for demanding an EGM. What is Zee upto? Ofcourse my lawyer community knows better!
