About the Summit

A Decade of Disruption.
A Century of Change.

Since 2015, The Times Group’s ET NOW Global Business Summit has stood as Asia’s definitive global thought leadership dialogue shaping the next century. What began as a platform to imagine the future has evolved into a global stage where major trends are questioned, shaped, and acted upon years before they materialise. 

Over the past decade, GBS has become a crucible of thought leadership, a place where enterprise strategies meet policy vision, and where the most pressing challenges of our time are debated with clarity and conviction. It is not merely a conference, but a collaborative ecosystem where decision‑makers anticipate systemic change, script pathways for resilience, and design frameworks for sustainable progress.
