Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to be one of the headline faces at the India Conference at Harvard 2026, a student-led gathering scheduled for 14–15 February 2026 at Harvard University, USA.
What is India Conference at Harvard?
Billed as an annual global conference on Indian business, policy and culture, the event is organised by Harvard students and positions itself as a platform to examine India’s rise as a global force.
The organisers also project the 23rd edition as a large-format convening—1,000+ attendees, 30+ panels and 75+ speakers.
Theme 2026: “The India We Imagine”
This year’s theme—“The India We Imagine”—is framed as a conversation on India’s values, complexities and future possibilities, structured around three sub-themes:
- Who we are: culture, identity and belonging
- What we navigate: complexities, dualities and pathways
- How we build: change-makers, spaces and systems
Speaker lineup: culture meets policy
The conference website lists Priyanka Chopra Jonas alongside Dr Shashi Tharoor and noted IR scholar Amitav Acharya among the 2026 speakers, with names spanning public life, business and culture (including PV Sindhu and others).
Why Priyanka’s presence stands out
Chopra Jonas isn’t just walking in with star wattage—she also carries a public-profile track record in global advocacy, including her role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador (since 2016).
