Session 1: Navigating India’s Growth Decade
In a world of fragmented geopolitics, trade weaponisation and slowing global growth, India stands out as one of the few large economies with scale and momentum. Yet the risks factors – including currency pressures, tariff shocks, data regulation and supply-chain realignments – are rising just as fast as the opportunities.
In this session, Adit Jain will examine India’s growth trajectory through 2035, the shifting global power balance and what it means for capital allocation, market expansion and enterprise risk. Drawing on IMA’s Research, the discussion will explore how consumption, capex, digital policy and geopolitics intersect to shape board-level decisions.
Session 2: The Credible CHRO: Earning Influence with CEOs and Boards
In today’s environment, the CHRO is a strategic architect of competitive advantage, with talent firmly at the core of business strategy. Functional excellence and strong processes are table stakes; real impact comes from the credibility to navigate competing stakeholder expectations and influence enterprise decisions.
Drawing on three decades of experience spanning CHRO roles, P&L leadership, and executive coaching, Yogesh Patgaonkar, offers a practitioner’s perspective on how CHROs build trust with CEOs and boards and deliver sustained business outcomes. Through real-world insights and peer dialogue, the session distils what it takes to influence decisively in a complex, fast-changing context.
