INDIA ECONOMIC CONCLAVE 2025: NAVIGATING GEOECONOMICS | IEC 2025
In an era of shifting power equations and economic realignments, India finds itself not just participating in the global conversation but often setting it in motion. Its policy choices - from trade and technology to energy and geopolitics are creating ripples that major economies, including the US and China, must respond to.
This fusion of power and policy is what defines “geoeconomics.” And today, India is not merely reacting to global change — it is catalysing it. With its blend of economic dynamism, digital innovation, and diplomatic balance, India is shaping global reactions, redrawing alliances, and redefining the contours of global geoeconomics.
Over 10 editions, Times Network India Economic Conclave has championed the most pertinent economic agenda of the nation, with the themes of the conclave going on to become a crucial subject in national discourse.
Steered by the leading editorial voices of Times Network, thinkers, policymakers, economists, business leaders and global influencers converge at this landmark forum, to discuss the roadmap for accelerating India’s economic trajectory.
