IGF's flagship event returns to Jio World Convention Centre for second consecutive year
MUMBAI, India, April 4, 2025 -- India Global Forum (IGF) is set to host a high-profile discussion featuring Piyush Goyal, India's Minister of Commerce & Industry, in an exclusive conversation with Bloomberg TV at IGF Mumbai 2025 at the Jio World Convention Centre on 7 April. This timely discussion comes just days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on global imports, including a 27% levy on Indian exports to the United States.
With the world's economic order at a pivotal moment, the Minister will delve into the implications of these tariffs on India and global markets. The conversation will focus on India's strategy to navigate shifting trade policies, bolster its manufacturing sector, and strengthen economic partnerships amid evolving geopolitical and economic challenges.
The two-day summit under the theme 'NXT25: Leading the Leap' will bring together CEOs, global investors and policymakers to explore the biggest trends shaping India's future on the world stage, highlighting India's ambitions for the next 25 years and its emergence as a global powerhouse in investment, technology, sustainability, and innovation.
In a highly anticipated session, India's next generation of business leaders including Parth Jindal, Jay Kotak, Vaaman Sehgal and Harsh Jain feature in a no-holds-barred conversation about bold ideas, tough lessons, and the disruptive vision reshaping the country's future in a lively and unfiltered discussion.
On 8 April, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will take centre stage in a fireside chat, where he will outline Maharashtra's vision for economic leadership, infrastructure development, and digital transformation.
"As global trade faces unprecedented challenges following the recent tariff announcements by President Trump, IGF Mumbai 2025 comes at a critical juncture. This event will set the agenda for international collaboration and investment, offering a platform to not only respond to these developments but to shape the future of global trade. The conversations and partnerships forged at IGF Mumbai 2025 will be pivotal in driving progress across key sectors, ensuring India remains at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and economic leadership," said Manoj Ladwa, Founder and CEO, India Global Forum.
IGF Mumbai 2025 will spotlight India's role in shaping global trends and India's goal in leading economic growth, partnerships, and progress. The summit will feature thought leaders and industry pioneers across business, policy, technology, and culture, including:
