What is IndiSetu?

IndiSetu is a 2-day Thought Leadership summit, envisioned to bring together innovators, policymakers, academics, and creators from diverse fields to deliberate on pressing global challenges, foster enduring partnerships, and celebrate cultural diplomacy, with a special focus on India-UK synergies. With a broad and inclusive theme — Innovation & Collaboration — the summit aims to evolve into an annual cultural and networking festival.

While Day One will witness a series of stimulating conversations, presentations, pitches and a concert at the British Medical Association House, Day Two will involve felicitation of leaders who have championed collaboration followed by a networking lunch at the House of Lords.

Director’s Message

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to IndiSetu — an event born of conviction, curiosity, and collaboration. Conceived as an intellectual and cultural bridge between India and the United Kingdom, IndiSetu brings together changemakers from across disciplines to address the shared challenges and transformative possibilities of our time.

As the Founding Director of the Global Collaboration Forum (GCF), I have always believed in the power of networks — networks that foster knowledge exchange, catalyse partnerships, and unlock innovation across borders. GCF, launched in Kolkata in 2024, was envisioned as a space to enable global good — in the realms of healthcare, science and technology, education, environmental stewardship, art, culture, and music

We live in a world that demands fresh thinking. From the climate crisis to the future of healthcare, from reimagining education to nurturing sustainable entrepreneurship, our century is one of redefinition. IndiSetu responds to this urgency by inviting participation from policymakers, academics, entrepreneurs, artists, and students alike — those who seek convergence over silos, and purpose over protocol.
