HT Leadership Summit 2026 — New Rules. New Realities.

Across economies, geopolitics, technology, business and society, the rules of engagement are changing. Artificial intelligence is transforming industries and human potential; shifting geopolitical alliances are redefining the global order; new economic realities are reshaping markets; and changing social and cultural dynamics are influencing how the world thinks, works and connects.

HTLS 2026 will bring together influential voices from politics, business, technology, economics, sports, entertainment, science and global thought to examine these new realities and the forces behind them. The conversations will explore what is changing, what it means for India and the world, and how leaders can navigate a landscape where certainty is increasingly being replaced by adaptation.

For over two decades, the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit has been a platform where leaders and ideas come together to shape the discourse of our times. In its 24th edition, HTLS continues that legacy—bringing together diverse perspectives to understand the new rules, decode the new realities, and imagine what comes next.
