In the next two days, friends you will hear much more on this from many wonderful people so enjoy. Let the second edition of the AP News Ideas of India Summit begin now," he said in the welcome address.
Dignitaries light a lamp to begin the ABP Ideas of India Summit 2023. ABP Network CEO Avinash Pandey to make the welcome address.
Two-day ABP Ideas of India Summit 2023, starting today, is available for viewing across all the different digital and broadcast platforms of the entire ABP Network.
ABP Ideas of India 2023, with 40 odd sessions and more than 60 speakers, is designed to be an intense and thought-provoking experience that celebrates the strengths that make Naya India the nation that it is as the country reaches out to take its rightful place in the world of tomorrow.
The 2-day event, in Mumbai, this year will primarily address the question - Where does India stand at this moment in history, with its burgeoning economy successfully tackling the energy divisions of yet another war in Europe, with a post-pandemic recalibrating world looking up to her as a global leader and a whole new generation of Indians impatient to lead across sectors?
Speaking on 'Ideas of India', ABP Network CEO Avinash Pandey said, “The inaugural edition of ABP Network’s 'Ideas of India', in 2022, turned out to be a huge success, not just in terms of how many people watched it, across our network, but more importantly what the forum meant as an intellectual exchange of diverse ideas. It was evident to me that this was an idea that was worth sticking with, because the ABP Ideas of India event is not just a summit, it is a platform that represents and extends the pluralism that is the ethos of India. A true democracy, like India, is a grand idea built on the churning of a million smaller ones, pulling and pushing together as a single unit. I am happy to announce that with ABP Network’s ‘Ideas of India Summit 2023’, this is officially now an annual platform of that churning of ideas, that will contribute to the defining of tomorrow’s India. The 2023 summit is all about the making of a Naya India as we look inward while reaching out to the world.”
