Two days where India's impact entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and institutions build what comes next for Bharat.
Sankalp Bharat is the domestic chapter of the Sankalp Forum — a year-round impact investment platform convening entrepreneurs, investors and institutions. The third edition in Lucknow puts Bharat's startups, SMEs and change makers at the centre of the conversation.
Expect two days of hard programming: capital matchmaking, policy roundtables, market-access clinics, deal rooms, and the Bharat Exchange — an exhibition floor for enterprises building for the next half billion Indians.

Adaptation and decarbonisation pathways for enterprises building from India's most climate-exposed geographies.
Heritage and craft economies as engines of livelihood — turning place and tradition into scalable enterprise.
Frontier technology and AI built around Bharat's languages, geographies and last-mile realities.
