The ICC President formally invited Dr. Jitendra Singh to be the Chief Guest at the ICC Global Business Summit, to be held on September 17 and 18, 2025, in Mumbai. The event marks the centenary celebrations of the Chamber and is being hosted for the first time in India.

The two-day Summit is expected to witness participation from over 500 global and national dignitaries representing more than 20 countries, including government leaders, business executives, and entrepreneurs.

This year's theme is "Transformation," with a strategic focus on key sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food and agro-processing, defence and aerospace, financial services, healthcare, AI, green energy, and the circular economy.

The Summit, said Jindal, aims to serve as a platform for thought leadership, business collaboration, and forward-looking policy dialogue. It also underscores India's increasing role in shaping global industrial trends and economic policy, he said.

Dr. Jitendra Singh welcomed the invitation and acknowledged the role of industry bodies like the ICC in fostering public-private collaboration and supporting the government's reform agenda.
