Promoting Viksit Bharat@2047

Driving transformation for prosperity in an inclusive and sustainable future is at the heart of the Viksit Bharat@2047 agenda. This in turn is unattainable without providing educational offers on next generation leadership for next generation leaders.
Seeing this need, the 2047.academy was founded with the sole purpose of providing an outstanding educational offer for next generation leaders, capable of implementing the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047. The Young Global Leaders Program therefore encompasses a holistic understanding of development, integrating dimensions of economic prosperity, social development and environmental sustainability.
To serve the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047, the 2047.academy is built on unwavering dedication, a firm belief in India’s bright future, and the deep recognition of the immense talent and capabilities of its people, and especially its youth.

Embracing the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – the World is one Family

Global citizenship in the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्) – the world is one family – engraved in the entry hall or the Parliament of India, is in the DNA of the 2047.academy. Our leadership program is titled Young Global Leaders Program not just because it sounds good, but because it is good; not just because we want to appear global, but because we are global.

The eminent experts whose voices carry the discussions in the Young Global Leaders Program come from over 10 countries from all around the globe and are living proof that the world really is one family, that what unites us as the human family is much bigger and much stronger than what separates us.

At the 2047.academy we combine ancient Indian wisdom with western philosophical thinking to foster a global mindset and demonstrate the time tested and universal character of ancient Indian wisdom in a global context. As such, the Young Global Leaders Program is also an invitation to Indian youth to reconnect with their heritage and traditions.

Walking the talk on purpose driven leadership

Our purpose is clear and simple: We provide a transformative learning experience on global leadership for Indian youth to be 2047 ready.

We are doing so by offering high-end content carefully curated and delivered by eminent global experts in inclusive and accessible formats. We know that not every student learns the same and are therefore providing a blend of short video lectures, expert interviews and reading materials to support different learning types.

With the receipt of their certificate, students of the 2047.academy are also offered membership in our exclusive Young Global Leaders Alumni Network, creating a life-long bond for and between tomorrows purpose driven leaders, carrying the spirit of the 2047.academy.
