Organized by Brand Vista Consulting, the conference united policymakers, industry leaders, social innovators, and youth representatives to chart a shared roadmap for a developed India by 2047.
The event was inaugurated in the presence of Shri Syed Shahnawaz Hussain, Former Union Minister and Member of Parliament, who emphasized the importance of collective effort in nation-building. “A Viksit Bharat cannot be built in isolation—it requires every citizen and sector to share responsibility for progress,” he said.
With the theme Unity for Growth inspired by the ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family), the conference underscored collaboration over competition, urging institutions, businesses, and individuals to embrace a cooperative approach. Attendees ranged from corporate leaders and policymakers to educators, artists, influencers, and entrepreneurs—each contributing perspectives toward a common national vision.
