Drawing upon their extensive professional journeys, these prominent leaders will offer valuable perspectives on the evolving expectations of corporate boards, the necessity of stewardship-led leadership, and the future opportunities for modern governance professionals.
Complementing the intellectual discourse is the carefully selected venue. Sumit Govind Sharma, Founder and Director of Monarch Liberty Hospitality (Sorena) and one of the evening’s featured speakers, shared his perspective on the partnership:
“At Monarch Liberty Hospitality, our vision has always been to create hospitality brands with distinct identities, experiences and communities around them. From EVE, which reimagined the modern dining and social experience, to Que Sera Sera’s European inspired all day dining culture, and TAT’s celebration of regional cuisines from across India, every concept in our portfolio has been built with a clear point of view and a strong sense of place. Sorena represents the next chapter in that evolution. It is our most ambitious project to date, bringing together the spirit of five global cities under one roof in Bandra. More than a restaurant, Sorena is designed for today’s cosmopolitan guest, someone who moves effortlessly between cultures, cuisines and conversations. Through its design, culinary philosophy and cocktail programme, Sorena reflects the energy of the world’s great cities while remaining deeply rooted in Mumbai. As a hospitality company, our focus remains on creating memorable experiences, building meaningful brands and continually raising the benchmark for dining and hospitality in the city.”
Beyond the formal addresses, attendees will enjoy ample opportunities to engage in informal dialogue, exchange innovative ideas, and forge meaningful professional connections in a relaxed, collaborative environment.
