Speaking about the event, Rajshri Rai, Chairperson, Balaji Foundation, said: “Swadesh Conclave 2025 is not just an event, but a collective platform for India’s transformation. It is an effort to connect our youth, leaders, and every section of society to envision and shape the India of tomorrow.”
Since its inception in 2020, Swadesh Conclave has emerged as a premier national platform for deliberations on India’s policies, culture, innovation, and society. In 2023, the 4th edition was held at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, on the theme “Influential India”, where stalwarts like Ratan Tata and Bindeshwar Pathak (posthumously) were honoured with the Swadesh Lifetime Achievement Award. The 5th edition in 2024 was held on the theme “Brand Bharat”, where celebrated personalities such as Usha Uthup and Rajeev Juneja of Mankind Pharma were felicitated.
Swadesh Conclave 2025 stands as both a grand celebration and a symbol of India’s evolving identity and boundless potential. It aims to infuse fresh energy into the mission of nation-building and establish India as a self-reliant, innovative, and future-ready nation.
