The day featured a series of specialized sessions addressing key global and domestic opportunities. A significant focus was on strengthening business ties between India and Israel, particularly in defense and entrepreneurial sectors. Hindu entrepreneurs explored avenues for collaboration, with notable participation from Karnataka-based business leaders.

Over a thousand delegates from India and abroad attended, deliberating on topics such as the capital market, artificial intelligence in industry, electronic manufacturing growth, and renewable energy. Sessions also highlighted the banking sector's potential, opportunities in tourism, and strategies to position India as a developed economy.

The forum’s underlying goal is to bolster the Indian economy by fostering innovation and investments among Hindu entrepreneurs globally. This year’s event saw investments flowing into new ideas and initiatives aimed at sustainable growth.

As the three-day forum draws to a close, participants look forward to tomorrow’s sessions. Organizers also announced plans to host the next WHEF in Australia, reinforcing the commitment to creating global opportunities while celebrating Hindu contributions to the economic landscape.
