Call for Panel Discussion

India’s Food System is central to the country’s economic stability, social welfare, and public policy. At the upcoming Public Policy Dialogues, we aim to deconstruct the systemic challenges of 21st-century food systems.  

We invite scholars, policy analysts, and industry leaders to submit proposals for ‘Panel Discussions’ that provide in-depth understanding of the critical issues facing the Indian and global food matrix. These panels will include leading experts on a specific topic or issue within the broad food systems domain.  

The panelists will bring their experience to bear on the topic, preferably from multiple perspectives within each panel. Specifically, these panels will be designed to provide the audience with a state-of-the-art understanding on the topic through an informed conversation among experts and serve to frame the broad contours of a problem or issue through moderated discussion.  

We are seeking panels that go beyond acknowledging costs to actively debating multi-pronged solutions. We invite you to lead the conversation that treats the food systems as it is: complex, adaptive, and deeply interconnected. For lasting impact, the event aligns the levers of Policy, Markets, and Culture, while building on the foundation of Technology, Gender, Climate, and Geopolitics.

The Public Policy Dialogues will be held on March 20-22, 2026, at the ISB Hyderabad Campus.  

Last Date to Submit: March 2, 2026
