Defying Gravity

Start your day grounded and intentional with an energizing mindfulness and meditation session designed to cultivate clarity, inner calm, and presence for the day ahead.

Arrive early. Meet leaders across industries, reconnect with the Neythri community and begin the conversations that will continue throughout the day.

A sharp opening to frame the moment, the stakes, and the rules of engagement for a day built around career advancement, connection, and learning with empathy.

Revathi Advaithi opens the Summit with a powerful keynote on leading at scale, navigating consequential change and staying decisive when the terrain, and the rules, shift beneath you.

Following her remarks, she joins Summit Co-Chair, Supriya Gujral, for a candid conversation and audience Q&A on the choices, convictions and leadership lessons behind her extraordinary global career.

The polished career story often hides the moments that truly shaped it.

Three accomplished leaders unpack the reversals, risks, inflection points and courageous decisions that changed their trajectories, and what it really took to reach escape velocity.

AI is too consequential to be left to technologists alone.

This conversation moves beyond hype and fear to examine how leaders can use AI to augment human capability, protect trust and autonomy, build responsibly, and shape institutions in which technology serves people, not the other way around.

Your reputation is already telling a story. The question is whether it is telling the right one.

In this highly practical workshop, Simi Shah moves beyond generic personal-branding advice to explore the mechanics of executive storytelling, digital visibility, and sustainable content. Expect live feedback, sharper positioning, and ideas you can put to work immediately.

Curated table conversations, meaningful introductions, and an opportunity to meet Kamini Ramani and the Neythri leaders featured in Lotus Leadership.

More details about the workshops

Too many leaders have been taught to edit out the very inheritance that gives them range.

Kamini Ramani joins Devika Patil and Sheela Subramanian to explore how the myths, rituals, language, values and contradictions we inherit can become sources of judgment, resilience, creativity and leadership power.

Change rarely asks permission.

Dr. Maya Shankar closes the Summit with a deeply human exploration of what happens when the plan changes, identity is disrupted, and we are invited, sometimes unwillingly, to become someone new.

A conversation about uncertainty, reinvention, and the possibilities waiting on the other side of what we did not choose.

A final moment to gather the ideas, commitments, and relationships we will carry beyond the Summit.
