ISB PGP MAX Leadership Summit 2024

Step boldly into the future of leadership. As India rises to new heights, blending tradition with cutting-edge innovation, the ISB PGP MAX Leadership Summit 2024 invites you to be part of this defining moment. This year, our summit celebrates the trailblazers and disruptors shaping India’s future—those who are not merely responding to change but actively redefining it.

Under the theme, "Transformative Leadership for an Evolving World," this gathering brings together visionary minds to delve into the transformative forces reshaping business, governance, and society. In a world marked by uncertainty and rapid shifts, this summit offers a rare chance to connect with pioneers harnessing resilience, creativity, and agility to drive lasting impact.

Engage with thought leaders as they share game-changing insights on navigating global challenges—from geopolitical shifts and environmental demands to the ever-evolving digital landscape. Our panels will feature ministers exploring policy frameworks, entrepreneurs pushing the boundaries of possibility, and top creators reshaping public thought and culture. Through fireside chats, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, you’ll gain invaluable perspectives on the next frontier of leadership.

Join us to stand at the crossroads of innovation and tradition, to build a bold, sustainable, and profoundly impactful future. This summit is not just an event—it’s a movement to empower the next generation of leaders with the tools, vision, and courage to lead India’s journey on the global stage. Join us to be part of the conversation that shapes tomorrow.
