About The Global Business Summit
About the Summit
A Decade of Disruption.
A Century of Change.
The Times Group’s ET NOW Global Business Summit (GBS) is not a reflection on the past, it is a platform built to shape what comes next. Conceived as a space where leaders confront uncertainty before it becomes inevitability, GBS convenes the world’s most influential voices to interpret disruption, design direction, and script long-term impact.
As economies, technologies, and governance systems undergo accelerated transformation, GBS serves as a centre of global conversations, where emerging realities are debated, strategic responses are forged, and the foundations of future growth are laid.

A Platform with Scale and Authority

Strategic Partnerships
GBS offers organisations the opportunity to anchor high‑impact conversations aligned with their priorities. Partnerships extend beyond the stage, with editorial integration, multimedia storytelling, and sustained brand presence across The Times Group’s platforms.
Exclusive Access
GBS 2026 provides rare access to an influential inner circle, over 2,000 delegates, including 400+ global CEOs, senior investors, and policy leaders, with curated interactions, closed‑door dialogues, and meaningful one‑to‑one engagements.
GBS exists to address a simple but urgent question
How do global leaders turn disruption into durable advantage?
At its core, the summit functions as a strategic global forum, bringing together heads of state, policymakers, CEOs, institutional leaders, and thinkers to engage in high-impact discussions that move beyond diagnosis toward action. This is where policy vision meets enterprise execution, and where long-term economic and societal pathways are shaped with intent.

GBS 2026: The Next Inflection Point
The Times Group’s ET NOW Global Business Summit, to be held in New Delhi in February 2026, marks a defining transition.
As one decade of disruption concludes, a century of decisions begins.
Anchored in the theme “A Decade of Disruption. A Century of Change.”, GBS 2026 reflects the scale, speed, and significance of transformations reshaping global economies, from technological acceleration and geopolitical realignment to sustainability imperatives and new governance models.
This edition is not a milestone, it is a pivot.
