New Delhi, June 2026.

The 16th edition of the Mindmine Summit, Hero Enterprise's flagship thought leadership platform, concluded today at Taj Palace, New Delhi, bringing together some of India's foremost policymakers, industry leaders, economists, diplomats, investors, healthcare experts and public intellectuals for a day of dialogue and deliberation on the country's evolving growth journey.

Held under the theme, 'Uncertain Times, Confident Choices: India Recalibrates', the Summit explored how India is navigating a rapidly changing global landscape while strengthening its economic foundations, institutions, innovation ecosystem and development priorities.

The Summit opened with a conversation featuring Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, Hon'ble Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, alongside Sunil Kant Munjal, Chairman, Hero Enterprise and Raamdeo Agarwal, Chairman, Motilal Oswal Securities.

In her interaction, Union Minister for Commerce & Industry Ms Nirmala Sitharaman said: “Strong domestic consumption provides resilience against global volatility, although dependence on imported raw materials and intermediates remains a key vulnerability.”  She added that the government is actively creating frameworks to attract foreign capital through bond markets and overseas fundraising while reducing currency-risk concerns through policy support. She also stressed that economic competitiveness is no longer just a central government story; states are increasingly competing to attract GCCs, data centers, and technology investments.

Commenting on the success of the Summit, Sunil Kant Munjal, Chairman, Hero Enterprise said, "The conversations at this year's Mindmine Summit reflected both the scale of opportunity before India and the confidence with which the country is embracing change. Across sectors, there was a shared recognition that India's next phase of growth will be shaped by innovation, strong institutions, entrepreneurial energy and collaborative leadership. Mindmine Summit continues to serve as a platform where diverse perspectives come together to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and contribute to the nation's progress."

Discussions throughout the day examined key issues shaping India's future, including geopolitical developments, investment trends, energy transitions, insurance penetration, healthcare innovation, institutional strengthening and the country's long-term growth prospects.

The event featured distinguished speakers and panellists including Dr. Shamika Ravi, Member, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister; Bansuri Swaraj, Member of Parliament; H.E. Antonio Bartoli, Ambassador of Italy to India; Suresh Prabhu, former Union Minister; Sanjeev Krishan, Chairperson, PwC India; Mansi Madan Tripathy, Chairperson, Shell Group of Companies in India and Senior Vice President, Shell Lubricants Asia Pacific; Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Power; Nilesh Shah, Managing Director, Kotak Mahindra Asset Management; Sanjay Kulshrestha, Chairman and Managing Director, HUDCO; Meenakshi Nevatia, Country President and Managing Director, Pfizer; Jasleen Kohli, Managing Director and CEO, Go Digit General Insurance; and Sanjeev Mantri, MD and CEO, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, among others.

The Summit concluded with the 18th BML Munjal Awards, which recognise organisations that demonstrate business excellence through a strong commitment to learning and development. Shri Mohan Bhagwat, Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), graced the occasion as Chief Guest, presented the awards, and delivered a keynote address on 'Bharat ka Nirmaan: Roots, Values, Future', reflecting on the values, aspirations and collective efforts shaping India's future.

Over the years, the Mindmine Summit has evolved into one of India's most respected forums for dialogue, bringing together leaders from government, business, academia and civil society to discuss issues of national and global significance. The 2026 edition continued that legacy by fostering meaningful conversations on the choices and opportunities that will shape India's future.
