The first edition of the India Business Literature Festival (IBLF) in 2018 was a grand success. Top Business Authors came together at an event that was held at the College of Engineering, Pune.

IBLF is back this year, with a new set of outstanding business authors, each of who have made contributions to business thought and practice.

India Business Literature Festival is the brainchild of Sameer Dua, Founder Director of Institute for Generative Leadership and a best selling business author; Aruna Katara, President, Hope Foundation and I2IT, a leading Engineering College in India; and, Anurag Batra, Chairperson and Editor in Chief of BW BusinessWorld.

This is what Sameer Dua, who is also the Chief Curator of IBLF stated, “This year’s author line up is fabulous. We are all excited to present these authors in the 2nd Edition of the India Business Literature Festival.”

This will ensure that the audience is well captivated through the day long sessions”
