This year’s diverse lineup showcases a mix of first-time entrepreneurs and those taking the reins of established family businesses. A key topic for these next-generation leaders is how to refresh and reshape their legacy-driven enterprises. To dive deeper into this theme, a panel discussion named “Reinventing Legacies” will feature prominent figures including Avantika Saraogi, executive director of Balrampur Chini Mills; Keshav Reddy, founder of Equal; and Aman Mehta, managing director of Torrent Pharmaceuticals.
The highlight of the evening will be three engaging fireside chats. The first will present an “Entrepreneurship Masterclass” with Ronnie Screwvala, known for his groundbreaking work in cable television and as the founder of both UTV, a major media and entertainment group, and upGrad, a leading education technology company in India.
As the importance of sustainability grows, a fireside chat titled “Building Sustainable Businesses” will feature Sanjiv Mehta, a veteran in the fast-moving consumer goods sector with over thirty years at Unilever, discussing how businesses can adopt sustainable practices.
The final fireside chat, “The Challenge of Public Markets,” will address the hurdles faced in public markets. Leading this discussion will be Ashish Chauhan, the CEO of the National Stock Exchange, who brings a wealth of knowledge in this area.
The evening will conclude with a formal awards ceremony, celebrating outstanding achievements. The 40 Under 40 event will also be streamed live on social media platforms and the official website, ensuring broader access to this exciting occasion.
