Oxford India Forum 2025 To Host Dr Annurag Batra On ‘Social Conscience In A Multi-polar World’

Dr Annurag Batra, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of BW Businessworld and Founder of the Exchange4media Group, is set to speak at the prestigious Oxford India Forum on 21 June 2025, at the University of Oxford.

His session, titled 'A Blueprint of Social Conscience: India's Role in a New Multi- Polar World,' will explore how India's rising global stature must be matched by a renewed commitment to inclusive growth, ethical leadership, and socio-economic responsibility.

Dr Batra will delve into how India can lead with purpose in a rapidly shifting global order, one that is no longer defined by binary power structures but shaped by dynamic, multi-polar engagements.

Dr Batra's session will also draw from his unique vantage point at the helm of some of India's most influential media platforms, offering insights into how narratives are shaped, challenged and reimagined in a digitally connected world. His address is anticipated to be a key moment at the Forum, particularly for audiences interested in the intersections of media, leadership, and geopolitics.

The Oxford India Forum, envisioned as Europe's largest university-led platform focused on India's transformation, brings together a stellar line-up of leaders across industries. With speakers such as Ajay Piramal, Ronnie Screwvala, Dr Sangita Reddy, Kalli Purie and Vikram Doraiswami amongst other eminent names, the event celebrates India's growing influence across sectors and its potential to shape the world's future.

Founded by Sidharth Sethi, the Forum is supported by key partners including Unicef, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India Today, BW Businessworld, All India Management Association (AIMA), Being Human Clothing and YourStory Media.
