Good to be at IGF London 2026, where the UK-India conversation felt sharper, more ambitious and more urgent than ever.
From capital and innovation to frontier technologies and enterprise-building, the focus was clear: how do we turn opportunity into long-term growth?
I was lucky to attend some excellent sessions, including @kiranshaw's, where she spoke about the need to shift the global narrative from exporting Indian talent to building Indian enterprises that can scale for the world.
Kudos to @manojladwa and @IGFupdates for continuing to build such a powerful platform for dialogue and action.

Another #Cannes tradition I always look forward to: meeting @ICCOpr board members from across the world.
This yearโs conversations focused on growing the ICCO community, bringing in more next-gen voices, and building towards what promises to be a strong Milan Summit.
It was also wonderful to have @nehamehro join us this year as ICCO Vice President.
A big thank you to @minomoriconi, @szczepanski_g , @roshalex and @Sourikka for bringing it all together so smoothly.
Also enjoyed the PR in Cannes sessions, especially the one on experiential PR in an AI-shaped world, featuring @vineetalways. @ArunSudhaman brought his usual sharpness to the conversations, with excellent moderation. Thank you. Arun.
And of course, because it is Cannes, there was time outside the meeting rooms to catch up, share a few laughs and explore the place.

Every year, @abkumar101 and I find our way back to the same cafรฉ in #Cannes and the same easy conversation.
What started as a catch-up has quietly become one of my favourite Cannes rituals. Three years in a row now, and already looking forward to the next one.

Another good conversation at #CannesLions2026, this time with @ArunSudhaman, founding editor of @earnedfirst.
We spoke about community, culture, creativity and what it really takes for brands to earn a place in peopleโs lives.
Looking forward to this one going live.

Good to sit down with Paul Holmes, Founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, @Provoke_News, for the PRovoke Media podcast at #CannesLions2026.
We spoke about @WEcommsโ Future of Comms report, and what it is telling us about #AI, leadership and the CCOโs role.
We both agreed that a lot will change over the next few years. But judgement, trust and the human read of a situation will still matter most.
Thank you, Paul and @Provoke_News, for an invigorating conversation.
