World Summit 2025 - The Legacy

World Summit 2025 - The Legacy

We are at a threshold moment - where the past is dissolving, and the future remains undefined. The NDTV World Summit 2025 sets its compass at the edge of the unknown, the unexplored. 

In a world shaped by contradiction and transformation, this Summit invites leaders, thinkers, and changemakers to engage in bold, urgent dialogue. From political realignments and technological disruption to climate and cultural shifts, the questions we ask now will shape what comes next.

Edge of the Unknown: Risk. Resolve. Renewal, the theme of the World Summit, explores three arcs of change:

Risk as frontier, not fear.
Resolve as intention, not reaction.
Renewal as reimagination, not restoration.

At the heart of this conversation is India - navigating modernity with courage, contradiction, and clarity. Its journey mirrors the global moment and offers a living lens of possibility. A collective ambition to look beyond the challenges of our time. The NDTV World Summit 2025 is where today's realities meet unwritten futures. A space to challenge what is, reimagine what could be, and begin anew.

Because the edge of the unknown is not where things end.
It is where they begin.
