ET Alpha Wealth Summit 2.0: Top investment voices. One stage. Market-defining ideas

The rules of investing rarely change overnight. But when they do, those who spot the shift early often stand to gain the most.

Today, new capital flows, new asset classes and evolving wealth strategies are shaping the investment landscape, requiring a broader perspective. The Alpha Wealth Summit 2.0 brings together some of India’s leading investment professionals, wealth managers, family offices and market participants in Mumbai on October 8, 2026, for an event that focuses on one question that is becoming increasingly relevant for investors: Where is capital moving next?

As investment strategies evolve beyond traditional equity and debt allocations, discussions around private credit, structured debt, global investing, alternative assets and cross-border opportunities are taking centre stage in portfolio construction. Against this backdrop, The Alpha Wealth Summit 2.0 brings together market practitioners, institutional investors, wealth leaders and family offices to examine the structural shifts reshaping capital allocation.


Why Mumbai is the right host
Few cities reflect India's investment ecosystem as closely as Mumbai. Home to the country's largest asset management companies, leading banks, brokerage houses, family offices, wealth management firms and financial institutions, it is also where many of the conversations shaping capital allocation and investment decisions begin.

A day built around the changing investment playbook
Rather than following a traditional conference format, the summit agenda is structured as a journey through the forces shaping modern investing.

The day opens with The Macro Manifesto, an opening keynote examining how global capital flows, geopolitical developments and economic realignments are reshaping investment decisions.

It is followed by Sovereign Blueprints, which explores how money is moving across borders, the growing importance of diversification and the forces driving global portfolio allocation.

The discussions then move deeper into specialised investing with Following Smart Money, focusing on private credit, venture debt, co-investment models and alternative investment funds.

Next comes GIFT City Unlocked, which examines opportunities emerging from India's international financial services ecosystem and its expanding role in enabling globally compliant investment structures.

The afternoon shifts to conversations on unconventional wealth creation through niche alternative assets and structured debt, reflecting how sophisticated portfolios are increasingly looking beyond traditional investment avenues.

The voices shaping the conversation
Complementing the agenda is a speaker lineup representing different corners of the investment ecosystem.

Nilesh Shah, Group President and Managing Director at Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company, brings decades of experience in asset management and long-term investing. Shantanu Sahai, Executive Director and Head of Private Credit at ASK, offers insights into one of the fastest-growing areas of alternative investing. Vikas Satija, MD & CEO of Shriram Wealth, will discuss the evolving priorities of wealth management, while Sonam Srivastava, Founder and CEO of Wright Research, brings a research-led perspective on investment strategy. Rounding out the lineup is Atul Suri, MD & CEO of Marathon Trends, whose market expertise provides valuable perspective on identifying opportunities across changing market cycles.

Together, these perspectives reflect a broader shift in the investment landscape, where understanding macroeconomic trends alone is no longer enough. Today's investors must navigate developments across public markets, private capital, regulation, technology and global finance before making allocation decisions.

As markets evolve, so should the conversations around investing. The Economic Times Alpha Wealth Summit 2.0 brings together the ideas, insights and voices shaping India's next investment playbook.
