The Dialogue

Session Themes

Each session of the Dialogue is meticulously structured to reflect the three Sanskrit-rooted pillars of the theme: Urja (Energy), Udyam (Enterprise), and Udaan (Ascent). Together, they provide a deep, future-forward framework for strategic reflection and action across the energy spectrum.

Inaugural Session

Urja as Strategy: Policy, Sovereignty & National Vision

Mapped Pillar: Urja

This session sets the tone by exploring the centrality of energy to India's policy imagination and national ambition. Ministers and senior bureaucrats will reflect on integrated energy governance, energy security, and India’s role in global energy diplomacy. The dialogue will also spotlight recent reforms, mission-mode programs, and the path to energy self-reliance as a foundation for Viksit Bharat @2047.

Leadership Panel-I

Urja as Resource: Exploration, Security & Self-Reliance
