From families creating new livelihoods to first-generation founders building global businesses, the instinct to build is reshaping India’s economic identity. What was once entrepreneurial ambition is fast becoming national character. Since its launch, every edition of the News18 Rising Bharat Summit has sought to capture the defining force shaping India’s future. For this edition, that force is enterprise.

Travelling across four cities before culminating at the flagship Summit, it will chronicle the people, industries and ideas driving India’s emergence as an Enterprise Nation. More than an annual summit, Rising Bharat is India’s foremost platform for national reckoning.

Every generation inherits a defining national question.
