Highlighting the history of Ideas of India summit, CEO Pandey stated: "When we started the Idea of India in 2022, we were like a Kevin Costner in that movie. Would people come to listen to an array of speakers? Brilliant, yes. But yet another summit. There were many who told us that we were dreaming too big. But then what is life without reaching to the stars."
Expressing gratitude, he stated: "Our first two editions were resounding success. Thanks to all of you. And we are back again with the third edition of Ideas of India in a year of cataclysmic changes.
Speaking about elections, climate changes, and horrors of war, Pandey said: "It is a year of over 60 elections across the countries spread over the world. Will all the elections advanced the cause of democracy. We will wait to see. But, people will exercise their mandate and voice their opinions. It is also a year, where temperature will be higher and even lower at many places. The pollutants in the air, land and water will taint our lives. It is the year where forest will burn and glaciers will melt. It is the year about the horrors of two ongoing wars which are destroying families, and eviscerating of homes seems to continue. It is a season of hope, resilience and reimagination."
"At the Ideas Of India 3.0, we are focused on the people of this great nation, and beyond. We are proud to present one of the finest names across the spectrum of emotional and intellectual engagement in the 3.0 series," he concluded.
