ET Business Growth Summit returns with Noida edition on August 7

The ET Business Growth Summit-Noida will be held on August 7, 2026, after the success of the Ahmedabad edition, which attracted a full house of industry participants. Centred on the theme “Building Global Champions from India's Industrial Heartland”, the summit will bring together entrepreneurs, policymakers, and industry leaders for discussions on the opportunities and challenges that are shaping the next phase of industrial and business growth in the region.

Greater Noida will host this summit. Noida and Greater Noida are among the most significant manufacturing and industrial hubs in North India. Home to a diverse ecosystem of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), exporters, and large manufacturing enterprises, the region has steadily strengthened its position as a preferred investment destination through robust infrastructure, strong connectivity, and a business-friendly environment. The region’s proximity to the national capital and a growing industrial base make it an ideal setting for conversations around scaling businesses and expanding India's global manufacturing footprint.

Through conversations on policy, finance, technology, and entrepreneurship, the summit will explore how businesses in this region can strengthen competitiveness, embrace innovation, and build globally recognised brands.


The evening will begin with a keynote address by Tejpal Singh Nagar, BJP MLA, Dadri, on “Policy to Progress: Enabling the Next Wave of Growth,” where he will talk about the policy ecosystem driving industrial and business growth in the region.

A panel discussion titled “The New Playbook: Creating Enduring Businesses in a Fast-Changing Economy” will bring together Jitendra Singh Rana, Chairman, B2B, Indian Industries Association (IIA), and Ashok Kumar Agarwal, Chairman, River Engineering, where they will discuss how businesses can remain resilient, adapt to evolving market conditions, and build sustainable enterprises.

Then there will be a presentation by C.S. Arya, General Manager, IDBI Bank, regarding financial solutions and banking support available to businesses at different stages of growth.

This will be followed by a workshop on “AI for Small Businesses.” The workshop, which will be conducted by Siddharth Satsangi (Times Internet), aims to offer practical insights into how entrepreneurs can leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to improve productivity, decision-making, and operational efficiency.

The summit will conclude with two business success stories. Manu Veer Tyagi, Founder and Owner, MV Lakshmi Group, and Bhanu Chopra, Founder & Managing Director, RateGain, will share their entrepreneurial journey in this segment.

The ET Business Growth Summit-Noida will bring together founders, MSME leaders, CXOs, investors, policymakers, and industry experts on a single platform to share ideas, encourage collaboration, and explore new opportunities for business growth.

Join Noida's biggest business growth conversation and be part of the city's journey towards building the next generation of global champions.
