Black Swan Summit India

Black Swan Summit India connects global capital, employers and markets with India's fintechs, talent and enterprises.

Co-organised by the Government of Odisha and GFTN under the BharatNetra initiative, the Summit takes place in Bhubaneswar every year. It brings together policymakers, investors, financial institutions, global capability centres, founders and educators to agree on practical next steps, and to sign them.

The 2027 edition, held 4–5 March at Mayfair Sanctuary, is organised around three pillars: Capital for Growth, Future-Ready Talent and SMEs Going Global.
