The Knowledge Conference — India in Full Flow: The Decade of Demand
Themed “India in Full Flow — The Decade of Demand”, the Knowledge Conference (10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.) brings together industry leaders, top CEOs and CFOs, senior Ports, Revenue and Customs officials, and key policymakers across focused masterclasses and a flagship supplier-centric panel:

The conference culminates in an inspiring leadership session by Capt. Raghu Raman, whose talks have been viewed over 100 million times. His four decades career, spans the hierarchy-driven culture of the Armed Forces, incentive-led organisations such as Mahindra, Reliance, Adani and the process-oriented world of bureaucracy.

Advocacy That Delivers
The Silver Jubilee caps a defining year: AILBIEA led a joint inter-ministerial engagement on port congestion before the Hon'ble Union Ministers of Commerce & Industry and of Ports, Shipping & Waterways; deposed before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Commerce; was privileged to participate and speak at the National Symposium on Customs Reforms; and remains an active voice in the Customs Consultative Group.
Shri Jayant Lapsia, President, AILBIEA, said: "For twenty-five years, AILBIEA has stood on a simple conviction — when industry and Government speak with trust, trade moves faster and the nation gains. This Jubilee belongs to everyone who built that trust with us. We gather to celebrate the past and chart the next twenty-five years — together."
