In an effort to tap into the potential of the youth generation, the Community will provide talented 20- to 30-year-olds with a global platform to shape the future and with the opportunity to develop their leadership potential to serve society. The Summit is held in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and has gathered 800 participants from 40 countries under the working theme “Linking Leadership with Livelihood”. The Global Shapers Community is a worldwide network of Hubs led by select 20- to 30-year-olds who are exceptional in their potential, achievements and drive to make a positive contribution to their communities.
