A three-day virtual conference themed #BeTheRevival: India And A Better New Word, the India Global Week 2020 will have more than 5,000 global participants from over 30 nations being addressed by 250 global speakers across 75 sessions.

During the summit, PM Modi is expected to focus on India's trade and foreign investment prospects. He is likely to lay out numerous investment and manufacturing opportunities that India has on offer as the world emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The event is organised by India Inc. - a London-headquartered media house that produces high-quality incisive content and events on investment, trade and policy matters relating to India’s increasingly globalised economic and strategic agenda. 

As quoted in a PTI report, entrepreneur, strategist and India Inc. CEO Manoj Ladwa said, "As the world battles to emerge out of the shadows of COVID-19, India with its immense talent pool, its technological prowess, and growing appetite for leadership has a central role to play in global affairs. I am sure the Indian Prime Minister’s message to the world will resonate with the #BeTheRevival: India and a Better New World theme of India Global Week."

The organisers of the event in a statement said that the India Global Week commits to re-energise and ignite optimism, but also inspire action.
