The National Conference on Unity for Growth – A Collective March Towards Viksit Bharat, held on 03rd July 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, proved to be a groundbreaking and thought-provoking forum that united leaders from across the nation. Organized by Brand Vista Consulting, this landmark event brought together prominent policymakers, business leaders, social innovators, and youth change agents who collectively reinforced a shared vision for a developed, inclusive, and self-reliant India by 2047.
The event was inaugurated in the esteemed presence of Shri Syed Shahnawaz Hussain Ji, Former Union Minister and Member of Parliament, who shared his passionate vision of holistic development for India. In his keynote address, he emphasized the power of unity, inclusive growth, and collaborative leadership, saying, “A Viksit Bharat cannot be built in isolation—it requires collective ownership of progress by every citizen and sector.”
The theme of the conference, “Unity for Growth”, was powerfully reflected in the message shared by the organizers. Grounded in the spirit of “VasudhaivaKutumbakam – The World is One Family,” the conference emphasized collaboration over competition, encouraging industries, institutions, and individuals to embrace a more humanitarian and cooperative approach to nation-building.
The conference brought together people from diverse walks of life—from government officials and corporate leaders to educators, artists, digital influencers, and social entrepreneurs. Their diverse experiences converged into one purpose: building a resilient, empowered, and unified India.
