India, thank you 🇮🇳 . Leaving #Charcha energised by what’s possible when government, business, and civil society unite: unlocking inclusive growth and opportunity.
Over three days, our team partnered with the Charcha community to turn conversations on livelihoods and skills into action:
➡️ Conversations that Matter. Dialogues with leaders across sectors on how AI + skills can open doors for SMBs, youth, and underserved talent.
➡️ On‑ground experiences that connect. Activations that helped attendees act now, from learning paths to networking prompts that sparked new collaborations on the spot.
➡️ Panels that moved the agenda forward. Exploring growth beyond metros, boosting entrepreneurship with new tools, and ideas to support tier 2 and tier 3 cities thrive.
➡️ Community, not just content. Partners, creators, policymakers, and practitioners swapping ideas, sharing data, and committing to concrete next steps together.
At LinkedIn, we believe opportunity is built through skills and connections, and Charcha showed that in action.
Grateful to the leaders who invested their time and energy to be in the room and lend their voice, including Jessica, Kumaresh, Ruchee, Aditi, and many others. Your perspectives turned ideas into action. It also showed what it means to walk the talk: putting our vision of economic opportunity for EVERY member at the heart of how LinkedIn builds and grows.
And a huge shout‑out to the team who made it happen: Bhavna (who laid the groundwork for all of this), Leo, Zack, Mimi, Adam, Sandhya, Upasana and the many teammates who made every activation sing. Meg, Heather, Vanessa, Nikhita, Megan, Sakshi, Homith, Aanya, atul, Jerold, the*spark, The/Nudge Institute.
Onward: We’ll share takeaways, short video conversations, and practical resources in the coming weeks so more people can benefit from the ideas sparked here.
