The PAFI Annual Forum is a premier platform for dialogue and collaboration. In 2026, this flagship event enters its 13th edition. It remains a vital venue for deep discussions on long-term policy and the economy. The forum unites diverse voices from government, industry, and civil society. Ministers, state officials, and legislators regularly attend. Chief executives, thought leaders, and young entrepreneurs join the conversation. Media professionals, academics, and think tanks also help shape the discourse.

The 13th Annual Forum will take place on Thursday - Friday, 24 and 25 September 2026. The venue is the Taj Mahal Hotel on Man Singh Road in New Delhi.

The official theme is 'India 3.0: Engaging for Growth in a Disrupted World – Ideas • Insights • Impact'. The global landscape is shifting. Geopolitics, technology, and supply chains are rapidly evolving. Nations are competing fiercely for capital, resources and talent. Amidst this disruption, India is entering a confident and outward-looking phase of growth. The forum will explore how India can boost its global competitiveness. It will highlight ways to build resilient institutions and actively shape global outcomes.

Discussions will cover vital sectors like technology, manufacturing, trade, energy, and talent. The critical role of individual states in driving economic growth will be a major focus. The entire programme rests on three core pillars: Ideas, Insights, and Impact. The ultimate goal is to drive actionable policy thinking through deeper stakeholder collaboration.
