India Today Group : Kalli Purie to deliver special keynote at Oxford India Forum

Kalli Purie’s session is anticipated to be one of the key highlights of the event, combining insight, innovation and inspiration from a trailblazing woman at the forefront of India’s media transformation.

Mumbai: Kalli Purie, Vice Chairperson and Executive Editor-in-Chief of the India Today Group, is set to speak at the prestigious Oxford India Forum on June 21, 2025, at the University of Oxford. She will be addressing the audience on the topic “Nation Builders: Women at the Helm of India’s Future”, a subject that aligns with her own journey as one of India’s most influential media leaders. Her session will highlight the transformative role of women in leadership across sectors such as media, business, governance and technology and how they are actively shaping India’s evolving global narrative. As someone who has redefined the newsroom with a digital-first approach and AI-powered innovations, Purie is expected to bring a compelling perspective to the Forum. From launching India’s first AI news anchor to driving immersive storytelling formats across platforms, she has consistently pushed the boundaries of traditional media. The Oxford India Forum, envisioned as Europe’s largest university-led platform focused on India, brings together global thought leaders, business pioneers, policymakers, cultural figures, and students to explore India’s growing influence. Founded by Sidharth Sethi, the Forum is supported by key partners including UNICEF, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), BW Businessworld, Being Human Clothing and YourStory Media.
