• LEADERSHIP: GENDER & DIVERSITY – A KEY TO SUCCESS
• A discussion on gender and diversity as competitive edge in the Sweden – India relationship. Capital is no longer the only decisive factor of production in today’s global economy: a business or an economy’s competitive advantage is increasingly determined by innovative ideas or immaterial services, and is less dependent on tangible assets. We are rapidly moving from capitalism to “talentism”. In such a world, gender and diversity parity can no longer be treated as superfluous. Can we find ways to promote diverse leadership by exchanging experiences between Sweden and India? What are the winning strategies? What are the best practices?

• LEADERSHIP: REIMAGINING INDIA 2025
• “It is often argued that India, with its wildly pluralistic society, fractious democratic political system, and boisterous independent media, has the potential to show the world’s other emerging markets that ethnic homogeneity and authoritarianism aren’t the only—or even the best—path to successful economic development.” This is the vision proposed by McKinsey and Company in ‘Reimagining India’ a collection of essays debating the economical-political construct that is the Indian business environment. This session will be opened with remarks by Marcus Wallenberg, followed by the book launch of ‘Reimagining India’ with the author Adil Zainulbhai. Following this will be a panel discussion on the key points raised in the book and highlighted below.

• Varanasi Junction
• Varanasi Junction is an art vernissage as well as an Indian cultural theme weekend held in Kista underground bazaar, in the northern suburb of Stockholm. Varanasi Junction is a meeting place that gives visitors a sensory journey to the holy city in India. Varanasi, also known as Benaras, is the oldest city in India and is called the spiritual capital of the country. As such, Varanasi is teeming with history, heritage, chaos and colour. In the city, one can observe the rituals of life and death taking place on the banks of the river Ganges, creating an overwhelming journey of sights, sounds and smells. The artist Elin Thorsén exhibits her photos, painting and other artwork, inspired by traditional cultural interactions from the swarming Varanasi. Guest lecturers Willy Pfändtner and Stig Lundgren will speak about about hinduism, pilgrimages and the holy city as a concept. Both adults and children are welcome to our workshops, where you can write your name in Devnagari (the Hindi script) and create your own art. There will be Indian food and chai in the underground bazaar – once you step down the flight of stairs you will be in Varanasi with all your senses, only on April 26th and 27th. Opening hours are 11-19. Travel by metro t-Bana to Kista, only 20 minutes from Stockholm City. Entry fee 50 sek. Hosted by Sydasien and Svensk-Indiska föreningen. Welcome!
