Global Influence

The Times Group ET NOW Global Business Summit (GBS) serves as a premier global assembly of visionaries, policymakers, and business icons to shape strategic and economic conversations. By integrating perspectives from across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, the summit facilitates high-level collaborations that transcend geographical boundaries to address systemic global challenges.

GBS is defined by its ability to bridge elite discourse with actionable impact, consistently hosting a distinguished roster of world leaders and innovators. Previous editions have featured sovereign dignitaries such as Mark Anthony Phillips (Prime Minister of Guyana) and the Rt Hon Patricia Scotland KC; intellectual giants like Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman and Ray Dalio; and the architects of the digital age, including Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, and Reed Hastings. Complemented by global finance leaders like Stephen A. Schwarzman and icons of Indian industry such as Narayana Murthy and Kumar Mangalam Birla, the summit remains a vital forum for those driving the next era of global transformation.
