World Summit 2025 - The Legacy

World Summit 2025 - The Legacy

NDTV World Summit 2025 - NDTV’s flagship summit, launched to spotlight India’s evolving role as a global leader. Held in October 2024, the summit came at a defining moment—just as Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his historic third term, and India’s influence on global geopolitics, economics, and climate diplomacy continues to grow.

The campaign reflects NDTV’s commitment to fostering high-level dialogue on global challenges, with India at the center of the conversation. Featuring keynote addresses, panel discussions, and thought leadership, last year, the summit brought together heads of state, diplomats, business leaders, and policy experts.

From advocating for India’s permanent seat at the UN Security Council to showcasing its green transition and digital innovation, the campaign underlines the emergence of “The India Century”—a future where India is not only participating in global discourse, but shaping it.
