CfPs: Public Policy Dialogues 2026 | ISB Hyderabad, 20–22 March

The Bharti Institute of Public Policy (BIPP), Indian School of Business, warmly invites you to participate in the Public Policy Dialogues 2026 (PPD 2026), scheduled for March 20–22, 2026, at the ISB Hyderabad campus.

This year's theme — "Food Systems: Moving Beyond Linear Thinking" — reflects a defining moment in India's development journey. Our food system has ensured production gains and strengthened food security for decades. Yet rising fiscal burdens, environmental stress, and climate volatility now compel us to rethink its architecture.

We must move beyond siloed approaches and engage with food systems as complex, adaptive, and deeply interconnected — where Policy, Markets, and Culture operate in alignment, and where Technology, Gender, Climate, and Geopolitics shape long-term resilience.

PPD 2026 will bring together leading policymakers, researchers, practitioners, industry leaders, and civil society voices to advance a systems-oriented, forward-looking policy agenda.

We invite you to:

• Register to attend the three-day dialogue
• Submit to the Research Poster Showcase
• Present at the Innovation Sandbox
• Propose a Panel Discussion
• Propose a Roundtable
• Propose an Agri-tech Startup Showcase

Selected participants for the Research Showcase and Innovation Sandbox will receive structured design and technical guidance from the BIPP research team ahead of the event.

Please find the conference brochure attached for detailed information on participation formats and other details.

We look forward to welcoming you to PPD 2026 and to engaging in thoughtful, evidence-informed dialogue on the future of India's food systems.

With regards,

Organising Team
