From Philosophy to Practice: India’s Moment of Transformation
India is at a turning point. A young population, strong digital systems, and growing access to finance are reshaping what inclusion means.
Here, the Black Swan philosophy comes to life.

The Black Swan Summit India 2026 explores how these forces can move beyond access to create lasting, shared prosperity.
