The Indian Chamber of Commerce has recently unveiled the Young Leaders Forum (YLF) to nurture the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs. Held at the Rendezvous Ballroom, Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, the event brought together the fraternity of young entrepreneurs, new-age family business leaders, contemporary innovators, and industry veterans to come together to chart out future opportunities across diverse sectors.
The launch of the Young Leaders Forum highlights ICC’s aim to strengthen the next-gen professionals to navigate the dynamics of commerce while seeking mentorship and collaborating with industry veterans to better shape India’s economic future. The platform will help new-age professionals with essential mentorship, knowledge-sharing opportunities, and other administrative guidance to strengthen their network, organisational skills, and lead seamlessly, especially at a time when the global business outlook is increasingly dynamic.
Sharing thoughts about the launch of the Forum, Ankit Gupta, Chairman, ICC Young Leaders Forum, Mumbai added, “The launch of the ICC Young Leaders Forum is a crucial moment in our commitment to nurturing the next generation of business leaders. India is at the brink of seeing unparalleled economic growth driven especially by the entrepreneurial spirit of its youth that will shape the country’s future. We see the Young Leaders Forum as a catalyst for ideas, leadership and collaboration to make India globally competitive.“
Adding to Ankit’s words, Siddharth Sethi, Vice-Chair, Young Leaders Forum, said, “The Young Leaders Forum is founded with a nurturing vision which is to build the community where young leaders network and grow hand-in-hand. The modern-day entrepreneurs and business leaders keep looking for platforms that enable them with access to quality conversations, seasoned mentorship, and opportunities to learn from industry veterans. YLF aims to nurture an environment that induces innovation, cross-industry partnerships and lifelong learning. We are excited about the potential opportunities that the platform will unfold for the new-age entrepreneurs.”
Founded by Shri G D Birla, the Indian Chamber of Commerce celebrates 100 years of excellence and service to the nation. The launch of the Young Leaders Forum sets another precedent in its journey of strengthening India’s business ecosystem.

As Maharashtra and India continue to emerge as essential global hubs for innovation and enterprise, we must create ecosystems where young minds collaborate, lead and witness sustainable growth. I heartily congratulate the Indian Chamber of Commerce on this initiative and wish the forum lasting success in shaping the next generation leaders.”
