– The stage set to host 60 prominent national and international speakers.
– Exploring the realm of possibilities for a new India.

New Delhi, February 22, 2023: ABP Network, India’s foremost multi-language news network, had announced in 2022 its plan to organize the ‘Ideas of India’ summit, which is set to take place on February 24-25 at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai. The summit, as promised, will bring together leading minds from various sectors across India and beyond its borders on a single platform. The second edition of the hugely successful ‘Ideas of India’ summit will focus on the theme of Naya India: Looking Inward, Reaching Out in 2023.

ABP Network CEO Avinash Pandey said, “The inaugural edition of ABP Network’s ‘Ideas of India, in 2022, turned out to be a huge success, not just in terms of how many people watched it, across our network, but more importantly what the forum meant as an intellectual exchange of diverse ideas. It was evident to me that this was an idea that was worth sticking with, because ABP Ideas of India event is not just a summit, it is a platform that represents and extends the pluralism that is the ethos of India. A true democracy, like India, is a grand idea built on the churning of a million smaller ones, pulling and pushing together as a single unit. I am happy to announce that with ABP Network’s ‘Ideas of India Summit 2023’, this is officially now an annual platform of that churning of ideas, that will contribute to the defining of tomorrow’s India. The 2023 summit is all about the making of a Naya India as we look inward while reaching out to the world.”  

The upcoming two-day event in Mumbai will address India’s position at this moment in history, with a booming economy successfully navigating the challenges of another war in Europe, a post-pandemic world looking to India as a global leader, and a new generation eager to lead across sectors. The event features a long and diverse list of speakers, including former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, Indian Chief Ministers like Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann, novelist Amitav Ghosh, business innovator N.R. Narayana Murthy, academician Mahmood Mamdani, and Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Ashwini Vaishnaw. The event will also feature yesteryear heartthrobs like Zeenat Aman and Asha Parekh, social messaging movie superstar Ayushmann Khurrana, and sports champions like Vinesh Phogat and Jwala Gutta. The summit is set to discuss the paths to a vibrant destiny for a new India, with sessions ranging from celebrity chef Vikas Khanna sharing his cooking mantra to young political heavyweights Poonam Mahajan and Raghav Chadha expounding on their parties’ recipes for the upcoming elections.

ABP Ideas of India 2023 will feature over 60 speakers across 40 sessions, offering an intense and thought-provoking experience that celebrates the strengths of Naya India. The summit will be available for viewing on both days of February 24th and 25th on all the different digital and broadcast platforms of the entire ABP Network.
