The India Advantage in a Fragmenting World

As the global economy enters a phase of fragmentation, marked by shifting alliances and supply chain realignments, nations are increasingly defined by their ability to leverage intrinsic strengths. In this context, the India Advantage —anchored in resilience, scale, innovation, and strategic autonomy—has emerged as a key driver of growth. The 14th edition of Business Today MindRush & Best CEOs Awards convenes leading voices from India Inc., policy, and global thought leadership to explore India's evolving role in a complex world. Anchored in this theme, the platform recognises CEOs who are building globally competitive enterprises and strengthening India's economic standing.
