About the forum

One table. One theme. Two hours.

The India Future Forum is proposed as an invitation-only, recorded roundtable of 20–24 participants. It is built to surface the manufacturing policy bottlenecks, investment concerns and implementation challenges that deserve discussion, and to turn that conversation into specific recommendations.

The outcomes are shared with the appropriate stakeholders, with a follow-up discussion within 30–60 days to assess progress.
