The conversations
Four conversational tracks
Four tracks structure the afternoon and evening. Each takes one strand of the reputation question and puts it to the storytellers who work inside it.
What India Says. What India Does.
Culture and Citizens
Trust Is Not a Campaign
Institutions, Governance, Growth
The Future That Cannot Be Imported
Technology, Startups, Scale
The People the World Already Believes In
Talent, Purpose, Soft Power
The run order is still being set, and will be published closer to the date.

What you’ll walk away with
Five things that outlast the evening, and travel back to your desk with you.

Early signals on emerging reputation risks and opportunities
Strategic frameworks to turn narrative into business leverage
Peer perspectives from leaders navigating similar pressures
Conversations that continue beyond the room
The PRana premise
If you’re responsible for building trust and not just communicating it, this is a room you should be in.
Every organisation runs on capital, policy, or capability. What binds them is trust. Trust is built through credible narrative.
Trade scales on it. Capital depends on it. Policy succeeds because of it. Narrative is the multiplier shaping how India is trusted, at home and globally.
PRana 2026 brings this question into a closed room of CXOs and CCOs, the people accountable for reputation. An invite-only gathering at The Leela, Gurugram, designed for those who do not just discuss narratives, but live their consequences.
PRana 2025
