A Global Platform for Business Leadership
ET Indo Global Leaders 2026 took place at Al Habtoor Palace, Dubai, on 20 September 2026. The gathering brought together entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors and policymakers from India, the UAE and the wider international business community. Its focus was excellence, innovation and the growing economic partnership between India and the UAE.
The evening began with networking before moving into panel discussions.

Sessions on India's Growth and Global Expansion
The programme covered three main discussions:
- India's Global Decade: The New Growth Story, on India's growing role in international trade and investment.
- The Scale-Up Playbook: Capital, Technology & Strategy for India's Growth Companies, on technology adoption, innovation, access to capital and strategic growth.
- Startup to Global Business: Building the Next Generation of Global Enterprises, on fundraising, international expansion and the startup ecosystem.
A fireside chat looked at how free zones can help companies expand into regional and global markets.
