About Us

If there ever was a time calling for India to step up to the podium of business leadership, it is now. As global economies worry about rising costs and debts, stagnating growth and geo-political tensions, India is poised to reap the rewards of its demographic dividend, bold economic reforms and a proven entrepreneurial culture.

Welcome to The Economic Times World Leaders Forum (WLF), a platform where global leaders, top MNC CEOs, influential thought leaders and policymakers come together to exchange ideas and collaborate for progress.
