The One Globe Forum (OGF) is an annual thought leadership forum that brings together leaders from business, government, academia, non-profit and the multilateral sectors to come together to discuss, debate and deliberate on how to build a 21st century knowledge economy in India and South Asia.
India and South Asia, with 1.6 billion people, account for nearly 25% of the world’s population. This represents one of the youngest and most dynamic demographics of any region. Yet it is also where we will find the world’s highest adult illiteracy, low healthcare outcomes based on the UN’s human development index and a massive challenge of urbanization. With limited economic integration today, the region has the potential to transform itself over the coming decades to become one of the most dynamic economic regions of the world. At OGF we discuss, debate and deliberate issues at the intersection of economic development and growth through the lens of innovation, technology, education, skills, urbanization and policy.
Last year we had even launched the One Globe Awards to honor excellence in building a 21st century knowledge economy. Last year's winners comprise of organizations and individuals including Uber, Amitabh Kant (Leadership in Governance), Ravi Pandit (Chairman, KPIT), Ashok Trivedi (Founder of iGate), Lord Raj Loomba (Chairman, The Loomba Foundation). The 2016 Awards were presented by Honourable Minister of State for Urban Development, Mr. Babul Supriyo.
