The International Human Resource Conference (IHRC) 2026 will bring together senior leaders and decision-makers who care deeply about the future of how India Works, Learns, and Grows.

The future of work isn’t somewhere far away. It’s starting right here, with all of us, in this moment, and with the courage to think bigger, reskill faster, and move forward with strategic clarity.
