Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], January 19: As national attention sharpens on policy priorities ahead of the Union Budget 2026, the 27th EDULEADERS Summit & Awards will be held on 23 January 2026 at Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Cathedral Road, Chennai, bringing together India’s senior-most education leaders for a high-level exchange on the future of learning, leadership, and institutional resilience.
Positioned as a leadership forum rather than a conventional education conference, the EDULEADERS Summit will focus on strategic themes including funding efficiency, employability outcomes, digital transformation, governance reforms, and the role of institutions in supporting India’s demographic and economic ambitions.
The summit will also host the EDULEADERS Awards, recognising institutions and individuals who have demonstrated long-term impact, innovation, and leadership in building sustainable education models.
Commenting on the relevance of the upcoming edition, Mr Sandeep Gulati, CEO of Plus Nine One Media, said: “As India prepares for the Union Budget, education leaders are looking beyond allocations to outcomes. The conversation today is about how institutions deploy capital, talent, and technology to deliver measurable impact. The EDULEADERS Summit provides a credible leadership platform for these discussions at a time when policy signals matter most.”
The Chennai edition is expected to see participation from vice chancellors, founders, principals, board members, and senior executives from universities, colleges, schools, and education enterprises across India, reinforcing the city’s position as a key centre for education leadership dialogue.
