Where India's next chapter of business meets the people building it.
The SCOBSA Conclave 2027 brings together business leaders, founders, entrepreneurs, investors, professionals and the wider alumni community for a day centred on the businesses, opportunities and leadership shaping India's next phase of growth.
Business leaders. Founders. Investors. Alumni. One room, one day, one conversation about what India builds next.
India is building with a new sense of ambition.
And behind that momentum are people, businesses and ideas shaping what comes next. The SCOBSA Conclave 2027 brings this conversation to the heart of the alumni community.
Centred around "Bharat Means Business," the Conclave brings together alumni, business leaders, entrepreneurs, founders and changemakers to explore how Indian businesses are being built, scaled and led in a rapidly evolving landscape.
From emerging opportunities to evolving leadership across generations, the day brings together diverse experiences and perspectives to understand what this moment means for Indian business.
The Conclave is about more than what happens on stage. It is about the people in the room — old connections renewed, new ones formed, ideas exchanged, and relationships that continue long after the day itself.
India is not short of ambition. The question is what we build with it. The SCOBSA Conclave 2027 brings the alumni community together with business leaders, founders, entrepreneurs, investors and professionals around one central idea:
Across one day, the Conclave moves from India's larger business opportunity to the real decisions involved in building businesses, creating brands, navigating succession and leading for what comes next.
And beyond the stage, the programme is deliberately designed to create conversations between the people in the room.
Not another day of generic panels.
The 2027 programme is built around specific questions facing Indian businesses and the people leading them, with our esteemed speakers.
Where Will the Next 5 Trillion Be Created?
Structured Networking
Family Business, Succession & the Next Generation
How India's New Consumer Brands Are Being Built
Meet the people shaping the conversations.
The Conclave brings together voices from business, entrepreneurship and industry across the day's key conversations.
