IndiSetu is a platform that builds bridges between India and the UK, bringing together leaders, innovators and communities to share ideas and create solutions with real impact.
Our focus is on collaboration across health, climate, culture and education. By connecting people from different sectors, we aim to turn dialogue into action and partnerships into progress.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to IndiSetu, an event born of conviction, curiosity, and collaboration. Conceived as an intellectual and cultural bridge between India and the United Kingdom, Indi Setu brings together changemakers from across disciplines to address the shared challenges and transformative possibilities of our time.
Following the successful inaugural edition of IndiSetu 2025, held in London, the platform demonstrated the power of meaningful India–UK dialogue, fostering impactful exchanges and enduring connections. Building on this strong foundation, IndiSetu 2026 moves forward with renewed momentum and purpose.
As the Founding Director of the Global Collaboration Forum (GCF), I have always believed in the power of networks that foster knowledge exchange, catalyse partnerships, and unlock innovation across borders. GCF, launched in Kolkata in 2024, was envisioned as a space to enable global good in the realms of healthcare, science and technology, education, environmental stewardship, art, culture, and music.
From climate resilience to health equity, IndiSetu 2026 convenes Indian and UK perspectives to advance informed dialogue and practical, solution-driven engagement. Through Indi Setu, we seek to cultivate enduring networks that encourage rigorous thinking, responsible innovation, and meaningful collaboration across disciplines. We warmly invite every right-thinking individual who shares our belief that the challenges of our time can only be addressed collectively—through empathy, imagination, and a shared commitment to shaping a better future together.
Let us co-create a platform that not only builds bridges between nations, but also across minds, generations and visions for a better tomorrow.

IndiSetu Curtain Raiser 2026 – AI in Healthcare Summit will be held in July 2026 at St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata. The event is situated within a period of significant structural change in healthcare, where Artificial Intelligence is increasingly embedded in care delivery, shaping diagnosis, risk prediction, treatment planning, system efficiency, and population health. Its influence is real and operational, establishing AI as a defining force in contemporary healthcare rather than a future possibility.
As algorithms begin to influence clinical judgement and data-driven decision-making, the integration of AI demands careful scrutiny alongside enthusiasm. Concerns surrounding ethics, bias, accountability, and human oversight have become unavoidable. The IndiSetu Curtain Raiser 2026 is conceived as a rigorous academic space where these questions are examined through evidence-based discussion, critical inquiry, and structured dialogue.
