India Conference at Harvard

Designed, conceptualized, and developed by graduates students across the Harvard University, the India Conference at Harvard is a platform to discuss, debate, and champion India-centric issues. This year marks the 19th edition of the Conference with its strong legacy of hosting conversations with India’s leading politicians, business leaders, government officials, academics, artists, athletes, philanthropists for meaningful dialogue on India’s path to global recognition.
