Shape the future of learning at India’s largest learning, leadership and culture conference—exchange ideas with leaders and explore innovative solutions in the Expo to undo, redo, and outdo.

In a world of accelerating change, our unique human capabilities—empathy, creativity, and connection—are our greatest differentiators. This theme is a call to action to empower learning and leadership by harnessing our collective strengths. Together, we will discover how to build high-performing organizations that are not only resilient and innovative but also purpose-driven and deeply human.

Too often, fear drives leaders to hide behind tools, waiting for certainty, shifting responsibility to algorithms, or leaving a vacuum when bold leadership is most needed. This keynote is a call to step forward: for leaders, to inspire ownership and articulate accountability. In uncertain times, self-leadership is crucial for transforming fear into fuel for progress. For HR heads, this involves designing cultures that reward ownership and leverage AI to enhance, rather than replace, human trust and care. For L&D leaders, it means moving beyond technical skills to build judgment, resilience, and courage. Learn how to use AI as a partner that amplifies human potential and leave with a renewed responsibility to lead with clarity, care, and confidence.

One of the biggest challenges organisations face today is keeping their leadership pipelines strong and ready for the future. Too often, succession planning focuses only on the C-suite. But the real need for strong leaders shows up much earlier, among managers and mid-level leaders who keep teams engaged, drive performance, and prepare the next layer of talent. To build a steady supply of future leaders, organisations must make coaching more accessible and practical for managers and rising leaders across levels. Scaling coaching means finding ways to combine reach with real impact. In this session, learn how leaders' can play a bigger role in developing emerging leaders, what practical approaches can make coaching scalable without losing its human touch, and how you can ensure the leadership pipelines stay resilient in times of change.

In today’s dynamic workplace, change moves faster than organisations can absorb it. The challenge is how to stay relevant, filter the noise, and sustain attention in a world of constant updates. Thriving in an always-on environment demands a shift from treating learning as a one-time event to embedding it as a continuous, energising practice. This session will explore urgent questions: How do we distinguish signal from noise in a hyper-connected learning ecosystem? What tools and practices enable individuals and teams to learn at speed without burning out? How can leaders reframe continuous learning—not as an overwhelming demand, but as a cultural habit that fuels resilience, focus, and growth?

Every L&D leader faces the inevitable question: What’s the ROI of learning? Traditional answers often rely on completion rates, satisfaction scores, or vague impact stories, metrics that fail to convince business leaders. The science of learning offers a better way forward. By grounding program design in 3 proven principles — spaced learning, retrieval practice, and interleaving, we can create interventions that measurably enhance performance and transfer of skills.

In a business world where change is relentless and uncertainty is the norm, even the most high-performing teams can fail, unless their leaders can lead with agility. In this conversation, a panel of visionary CHROs will unpack what it really takes to shift from driving results to cultivating readiness. Walk away with actionable insights to embed adaptability into leadership development, team culture, and organizational DNA, ensuring they—and their people—are ready for whatever’s next. Join this session to future-proof your leadership approach and transform adaptability from a survival skill into your strongest strategic edge.

In an era where AI is reshaping roles, skills, and workplace dynamics, the biggest challenge is not just acquiring new knowledge but unlearning outdated assumptions. Leaders and teams must actively re-examine how they define expertise, assign value to certain roles, and perceive one another. This means recognising where bias- conscious or unconscious - has been built into our habits, systems, and even algorithms. From hiring to collaboration to performance evaluation, unlearning becomes a critical skill: creating space to relearn more inclusive, adaptive, and forward-looking practices. When organizations frame unlearning as a core part of continuous learning, they not only future-proof their workforce but also foster cultures where curiosity, equity, and innovation can thrive.

Leadership, according to Chanakya, is not about dominance but about balance. Drawing from the Chanakya Neeti and the principles of Aanvikshiki (strategic thinking), this keynote explores how modern leaders can integrate three timeless pillars of leadership: Dharma (ethics & responsibility), Artha (resources & prosperity), and Shakti (power & influence), to create sustainable impact in today’s complex world. Dharma provides the moral compass and clarity of purpose that anchors decisions; Artha ensures wise management of wealth, resources, and opportunities to drive sustainable growth; while Shakti emphasizes the responsible use of power and influence to protect, guide, and inspire. By weaving together these elements, leaders can navigate complexity, manage crises, and build institutions that outlast them.

This keynote explores strategic solutions for the widening talent gap, focusing on how HR leaders can leverage technology and innovative learning models to reskill and upskill their current workforce at scale. Discover how to transform your talent pipeline into a resilient supply chain ready for an AI-powered future.

An interactive discussion where panelists present a bold hypothesis about the future, and the audience gets to 'test' it by voting, sharing stories, or challenging assumptions. The emerging workforce—led by Gen Z and soon Gen Alpha—is redefining loyalty through the lens of growth. For them, the primary currency of engagement is learning velocity, not job security. They expect to continuously acquire new skills, experiment with roles, and have clear pathways for career evolution. Leaders and organizations that fail to embed learning as a daily cultural habit risk becoming irrelevant. This shift calls for reimagining the workplace as a living, breathing “learning ecosystem” rather than a static employer.

Today SHRPA 2025 report shows how change readiness has become synonymous with AI readiness. HR leaders are no longer only custodians of people processes but architects of how organisations adapt to disruptive technologies. Building a culture of AI readiness is not just about deploying new tools, it’s about shaping mindsets, reimagining skills, and embedding trust in technology. Companies that lag will not only underperform in business impact but also risk HR losing its strategic influence within the enterprise. This panel will explore how HR leaders can overcome resistance, prioritize AI capabilities, and create the cultural enablers that make adoption sustainable.

AI has moved from the back office into the boardroom—shaping decisions, influencing strategies, and redefining how leaders connect with people. But the critical question is: Will AI amplify human empathy and ethics, or erode them? This session challenges leaders to rethink AI’s role—not as a silent assistant, but as a co-pilot in shaping culture, trust, and humanity in leadership. Participants will debate provocative ideas: Should algorithms have a 'seat at the table'? Can we truly design AI that is human-first? Does trust come from instinct or AI evidence? The conversation will explore the paradox of empathy, the risks of bias, and the future skills leaders need to navigate a world where leadership is shared with technology.

In a fast-evolving world, this talk would explore building intergenerational teams, mentorship-driven cultures, and the longevity of purpose-led leadership. Expect real-world lessons, timeless principles, and forward-looking strategies that bridge generations while keeping the flame of innovation and integrity alive. In a world where change moves at lightning speed, the leaders who stand the test of time aren’t just visionaries — they’re builders of legacies. Get inspired!

Time to connect the dots, summarise important actionables, & express our gratitude. We close the conference with a shared vision, setting the stage for even greater achievements next year!

After a full day of learning, take the well-deserved break you need—stay back for high tea, connect with peers, & experience the innovative learning solutions and technologies that can help you drive transformation.
