ET Now Global Business Summit 2026

The Times Group’s ET Now Global Business Summit 2026 will take place from 13–14 February in New Delhi, from 10.00 a.m to 5.00 p.m.

The Times Group’s ET NOW Global Business Summit (GBS) is not a reflection on the past, it is a platform built to shape what comes next. Conceived as a space where leaders confront uncertainty before it becomes inevitability, GBS convenes the world’s most influential voices to interpret disruption, design direction, and script long-term impact. As economies, technologies, and governance systems undergo accelerated transformation, GBS serves as a centre of global conversations, where emerging realities are debated, strategic responses are forged, and the foundations of future growth are laid. KPMG joins as the Knowledge Partner for the event, bringing deep insights and expertise to enrich these conversations and help shape the agenda for sustainable progress.
