Guided by this principle, the event featured seven concurrent conferences - Economic, Education, Media, Political, Women, Youth, and Hindu Organizations. A gathering of 2,450 delegates from 60 countries comprised Hindu leaders, dignitaries, activists, academics, industrialists, businesspersons, parliamentarians, and media personalities.

The role of media in shaping global perceptions and narratives is crucial, as almost every individual now consumes news and entertainment media through smartphones. However, truth often gets obscured behind layers of interpretations, perceptions, and political motives. It is imperative for Hindus to have a substantial representation in journalism, news media, social media, as well as the cinematic and TV entertainment sectors to ensure an accurate and positive portrayal of the Hindu community and its interests. Controlling the narrative about Hindus in the media is increasingly crucial.
This conference serves as a platform for various stakeholders including media owners, production houses, and media professionals to exchange ideas, share experiences, and address challenges and opportunities across all forms of media. The aim is to devise strategies that promote honest reporting and portrayals of the Hindu community, ensuring a more informed world audience.

Furthermore, the conference aims to inspire greater political involvement among Hindu youth and foster a culture of responsible democracy on a global scale.
