Family businesses create nearly 70% of India's GDP and account for a significant share of employment. Yet, many businesses face the same challenge when it's time to grow: how do you preserve legacy while building for the future? That conversation needs more than business theory. It needs practical experience. At the 10th Edition of the BNI Surat Business Conclave 2026, we are honoured to welcome Dr. Samish Dalal, Professor at the GFMB@S P Jain School of Global Management, as our Keynote Speaker. Holding a PhD in Negotiation, Dr. Samish Dalal has guided over 7,000 students and worked directly with 2,000 Indian family businesses through the GFMB Program, helping entrepreneurs navigate leadership, negotiation, innovation, entrepreneurship, and succession with clarity and confidence. He has also been a two-time TEDx speaker, taking these ideas beyond the classroom. For every #entrepreneur building something that lasts, this is a chance to learn from someone who understands both the numbers and the people behind every successful business. Join thousands of entrepreneurs, founders, and industry leaders for two days of meaningful conversations, valuable connections, and ideas that can shape your next chapter. 📅 18th July 2026 (Saturday)  📍 Sarsana Convention Center, Surat The right insight at the right time can change the future of a business.
