Let’s begin the day over a delicious lunch, where familiar faces and new connections come together. A moment to ease in, exchange first hellos, and spark the conversations that will carry through the summit.

Kick off the Alpha Summit with a look at the data and insights shaping global private markets. We’ll explore how capital is moving, why this community exists, and what’s coming next for those driving innovation and returns across Asia and beyond.

Asia stands at the heart of the global hunt for Alpha. This keynote explores how shifting geopolitics, generational wealth transfers, and evolving private capital markets are redefining where and how Alpha is created. A forward look at the region shaping the next wave of opportunity.

In this fast-paced block, three GPs take the stage to share sharp perspectives from the front lines of venture. From India’s compounding growth curves to contrarian capital strategies and biology as a platform, these spotlights show how differentiated conviction becomes durable alpha.

A new kind of arms race has begun. Not for weapons, but for the capacity to build. Nations everywhere are re-engineering their industrial bases and reclaiming control of production. AI is accelerating this shift, turning factories into the next frontiers of innovation and influence. The outcome will define the balance of power for a generation.

I sold my startup, gave up my US green card & moved back to India to start a VC fund with my co-GP, Gautam. We saw what will be inevitable in the years to come — the second order effects of India's well known inflection points.

Not every outlier starts with a spotlight. This is a reflection on the quiet strength of non-credentialed founders, those who’ve crossed invisible miles to build the extraordinary, long before the world knows their name.

Capital markets are being rewired. From AI-driven insights to next-gen fund infrastructure, technology is transforming how capital is allocated, managed, and measured. This session brings together the builders and investors shaping a new era of intelligence-driven investing, where systems — not just strategy — define the next edge in Alpha.

A pause to recharge and reconnect. Grab a coffee, meet fellow investors and trade fresh perspectives before diving into the next round of sessions. Some of the best Alpha starts in the conversations off stage.

A short performance by one of the world’s premier chamber groups. Precision, restraint, and craft - the same qualities we prize in disciplined allocation and firm building.

AI is reshaping industries, economies, and the logic of investing. Leading GPs from across regions share how private capital is being redeployed toward the systems and ideas defining the next decade. A forward-looking discussion on where opportunity lies and how to build lasting Alpha in the age of intelligence.

Our physical world is becoming more fragile by the day. Temperatures have risen drastically over the last 20 years, causing natural tipping points to occur. At the same time, new founders are building cutting-edge AI that can mimic real human cognitive abilities and expedite industrial processes. How do we harness breakthrough discoveries in technology to address the pressures on energy systems, food, water and materials?

How engineered biology is transforming life from something we study into something we build, unlocking entirely new markets, industries, and ways of inventing the future worth trillions.

For the first time in India’s history, ambitious 25 year olds are able to raise millions of dollars and build the products and the companies of their dreams. They now have role models, access to capital, talent and a large country being unified into one huge market. We broke free from socialism in 1991. Forty years later - what is the India of 2031 likely to look like?

As innovation becomes strategy and technology turns geopolitical, this panel unpacks how AI, semiconductors, and infrastructure are reshaping global power and capital flows. From builders to policymakers, we’ll explore how nations compete, founders adapt, and investors find Alpha in a world of shifting standards and new frontiers.

A candid conversation between Prashanth Prakash of Accel Asia and Tanya Sen of Sofina on what today’s allocators look for in emerging fund managers. Together, they’ll explore how trust, transparency, and alignment shape lasting partnerships, and what truly signals long-term Alpha in a fast-evolving Asian market.

We’ll wrap the day with key reflections, takeaways, and a look at what’s next for the community. A moment to connect the dots, say thank you, and set the stage for where we go from here.

An open bar and unhurried conversations before the evening unfolds. A chance to decompress, connect, and set the stage for dinner and the Alpha Awards.

A celebration of the breakout first- and second-time GPs redefining performance, craft, and integrity. With crisp pacing and substance at the core, the Alpha Awards spotlight emerging firms in Asia with multi-billion potential—before the rest of the market catches on.

An evening of food, drinks, and music designed for easy connection. With no assigned seating, the dinner flows naturally into conversation and collaboration, before the night carries on with a DJ and drinks until late.
