The summit, to be held on November 5 and 6, is an invitation-only event that is held each June and December in the New York City. The New Delhi summit is the 59th CEO Summit of The Chief Executive Leadership Institute, a Yale media release said.
"Following last year’s Mumbai bombing, many US CEOs expressed great interest in reinforcing their enthusiasm for India’s miraculous economic development and adroit navigation through the recent economic crisis," Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute’s President and conference organiser said.
"This gathering will exchange perspectives on how cross border business can be mutually reinforcing while addressing urgent societal challenges," he said.
Among the conference participants in New Delhi will be Deloitte CEO James Quigley, Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, former Colgate-Palmolive Chairman Reuben Mark, Global Crossing CEO John Legere, Reliance Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani, Infosys founder Nandan Nilekani, S K Roongta, chairman, Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL), and R S Sharma, chairman and managing director, Oil & Natural Gas Co (ONGC).
Other participants are K K Modi, Chairman, Modi Enterprises, Rajan Mittal, vice-chairman and managing director, Bharti Enterprises, Sanjeev Chadha, chairman and CEO, PepsiCo India, Yale University President Richard C Levin, Rajendra Pachauri, Director-General, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and Director, Yale Climate and Energy Institute.
The summit participants will share candid perspectives on the most effective ways that business leaders have found for collective actions to address societal needs as well as ways to ignite and promote entrepreneurial initiatives.
The summit is organised by the Yale School of Management’s Chief Executive Leadership Institute. Supporters of the event include Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the NASDAQ OMX Educational Foundation, PepsiCo, UPS, HSBC India, Modi Enterprises, the Oil & Natural Gas Co (ONGC), the Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL), and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci).
