For over 45 years, the United Economic Forum (UEF) has quietly built a bridge — connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers from India’s most underrepresented communities to the world stage.
We’re not just here to celebrate success. We’re here to unlock it — through access to capital, knowledge, networks, and policy.
At the heart of UEF is a bold belief:
When you uplift the overlooked, you don’t just build businesses. You build a better economy.
Today, UEF is a growing movement of business leaders, technocrats, institutions, and youth — all aligned on one mission:
To build a Good Economy — inclusive, impactful, and built from the grassroots up.
Trade is not just about finance.
Business is not just about transactions.
The Good Economy is a shift —
from deals to dignity, from growth at any cost to growth with values.
It’s about building with:
At UEF, we believe good business uplifts — not just profits.
This is the future we’re shaping.
