Mumbai,
30th December 2025: The Association of Investment Bankers of
India (AIBI), the sole representative body of investment bankers, today,
unveiled the theme for its 14th Annual Convention. The theme for
2026 is ‘IPOs India – Gateway to Global Capital, Sustainable Growth, Viksit Bharat’.
Following the resounding success of its past editions that have grown into
becoming one of India’s most influential capital-market forums, AIBI’s 14th
Annual Convention is set to happen on 15th January 2026 at Jio
Convention Centre BKC, Mumbai. Over the years, AIBI’s Annual Convention has
consistently convened top policymakers, market leaders, entrepreneurs and
global investors to shape the future of India’s primary markets, and this year
promises to be its most impactful edition yet.
The
2026 Convention will host an exceptional lineup of dignitaries and thought
leaders, including SEBI Chairman Shri Tuhin Kanta Pandey; Shri
Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO, NSE; Shri Sundararaman Ramamurthy, MD &
CEO, BSE along with senior SEBI officials, several marquee founders and
industry stalwarts from India’s most successful startup stories.
The
convention’s theme, “IPOs India: Gateway to Global Capital, Sustainable
Growth, Viksit Bharat,” will be explored across multiple power-packed
sessions—from pre-IPO capital raising strategies, governance and transparency
frameworks, and regulatory perspectives to SME IPO growth, ethics in IPO
advertising, mutual fund participation, and transformative IPO reforms for
Viksit Bharat. These sessions aim to jointly reflect India’s maturing capital
markets, the growing sophistication of investors, and the increasing global
competitiveness of Indian enterprises seeking to tap public markets.
Elaborating
on the themes, Mr. Mahavir Lunawat, Chairman, AIBI and
Founder and Chairman Pantomath Group said, “This year’s theme reflects
India’s structural ascent as one of the world’s most dynamic primary markets.
With experts from regulators, institutional fund houses, and industries sharing
a common platform, the Convention becomes a powerful engine for actionable
ideas and forward-looking reforms. We are committed to fostering transparency,
investor confidence and growth-oriented policy frameworks that enable companies
to create long-term value while broadening participation in India’s public
markets.”
