Recognized as one of India's premier leadership platforms for the chemicals, petrochemicals, and energy sectors, the summit will bring together C-suite executives, policymakers, technology innovators, investors, and industry experts to deliberate on strategies that will define the next phase of industrial growth.

The Indian chemical industry is a global powerhouse, currently valued at over $220 billion and projected to reach $250-255 billion by 2030. However, recent global conflicts, pandemic-induced lockdowns, and extreme weather events have exposed severe vulnerabilities in traditional supply chains.

Key discussion points include: Geopolitical realignment and China+1 strategies; Digital transformation and supply chain visibility; Regulatory compliance and ESG integration; Infrastructure bottlenecks and local logistics; and Financial risk and inventory optimisation.
