Perspective: India's Global Rise | 12 June, 2026

Few countries have seen their global profile rise as dramatically in recent years as India. From the corridors of global diplomacy to the world's leading economic and strategic forums, India's presence, influence and confidence have grown significantly on the global stage. Over the past decade, India has evolved from being viewed primarily as an emerging power to being recognised as a leading power - one that is increasingly shaping global conversations rather than merely participating in them. From championing the concerns of the Global South and steering a successful G20 Presidency, to expanding strategic partnerships across regions and advancing India's interests on the world stage, the country's international footprint has expanded significantly. This transformation has unfolded alongside a significant political milestone at home. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed twelve years at the helm of the Government and has now become the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in India's history. In a gesture seldom seen in global diplomacy, leaders from across continents marked the occasion with congratulatory messages - reflecting not only a personal milestone, but also the growing importance of India's voice in world affairs. We’ll reflect on how India's standing in the world changed over the past twelve years? And as the global order undergoes change, what role is India poised to play in shaping the future. Guests: 1.
