ETCFO Leadership Summit 2024: CFOs resetting the new world order

The world is currently in mid of chaos with wars and tensions rife, high inflation tempering global growth and rapid technological changes ringing out the old. India Inc is also at a crucial juncture, as the country shines as a beacon of growth in the dismal global scenario. The industry is waiting for crucial signs and more evidence of rising demand to fire its animal spirits and go for capital expansion.

At this crossroads, ETCFO is organising the 5th Edition of the ETCFO Leadership Summit, where leading mavens of the finance world will brainstorm and offer insights for a world marked by uncertainty and transformation.

Scheduled for March 7th 2024, this summit emerges at a pivotal juncture for India Inc, reminding Rakesh Jhunjhunwala's sagacious insight that growth often springs from chaos, not order. 2024 is set to be a year of political transitions, geopolitical risks, and technological advancements.

The Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) are at the forefront of their organisations as they navigate through challenges and opportunities. From redefining chaos to leading beyond conventional decision-making, these financial leaders need to embrace their pivotal roles with unwavering determination and strategic acumen.

The summit's agenda reflects the diverse spectrum of challenges faced by CFOs in today's dynamic environment. Through insightful discussions and thought-provoking panels, participants would brainstorm on varied topics including technology investment, digital transformation, human capital metrics, and crisis management.

Key sessions such as "Conflicting Roles Driving Successful Tech Investment" and "Optimizing Digital Efficiencies" underscore the imperative for CFOs to spearhead innovation and drive organizational agility in the face of disruption.

Moreover, the summit would focus on the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations that are gaining importance in corporate decision-making. Mukund Rajan, Former Chief Ethics Officer of Tata Sons, would offer valuable insights in leading the ESG transformation and fostering sustainable practices for a better tomorrow in a fireside chat with Amol Dethe, Editor of ETCFO.

Welcome to the ETCFO Leadership Summit 2024, where chaos meets opportunity, and leadership paves the way for a brighter tomorrow.
