The NDTV World Summit 2025 is set to become a landmark global event, bringing together some of the world’s most influential leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, Sri Lankan Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya, former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Scheduled for October 17-18 in New Delhi, the Summit promises a rare convergence of two serving and two former Prime Ministers, underscoring its significance as a forum for shaping urgent global conversations.

According to an NDTV press release, the Summit will serve as a platform where leaders, innovators, thinkers, and cultural icons deliberate on issues defining the modern era. Against the backdrop of volatility, uncertainty, and global transformation, discussions will span geopolitics, technology, ecology, culture, economic architecture, and societal imagination, moving beyond analysis toward reimagination and renewal.

The 2025 edition, themed ‘Edge of the Unknown: Risk. Resolve. Renewal.’, invites participants to confront uncertainty with creativity, approach challenges with deliberate resolve, and envision futures not bound by the past. The Summit’s strength lies not only in the participation of these global leaders but also in the diverse voices from business, innovation, culture, and ethics, all converging to chart new possibilities for the world.

Rahul Kanwal, CEO & Editor-in-Chief, NDTV, remarked, “The NDTV World Summit 2025 is a crucible of influence where ideas, imagination, and intention converge. The presence of two serving Prime Ministers and two former Prime Ministers, alongside a wide constellation of global leaders and changemakers, is a powerful testimony to the urgency the Summit creates. It reflects India’s position at the heart of the world’s conversation and its growing role in shaping a collective future.”

With this edition, NDTV aims to highlight India’s story of ambition, reinvention, and resilience while facilitating discussions that confront uncertainties and forge ideas for tomorrow. The Summit represents not just a meeting of minds but a vision for a new India, amplified on the global stage through a reimagined NDTV, committed to curating conversations of importance and shaping the world’s understanding of India’s growing influence.
