The Founder's Day Celebrations by the FMS Forum was instituted in 2015. Since 2019, it is an annual event that addresses critical and contemporary issues facing India and the world.

The earlier celebrations have seen outstanding successes with attendance by illustrious leaders from India who have shared their treasure trove of experiences, anecdotes and best management practices. At FMS Delhi and amongst the B-school community, this has become one of the most prestigious and eagerly awaited fora.

This year, at the turn of the decade, as the world grapples with the pandemic, the celebrations of this marquee event , will be held virtually. The aim is to drive conversations towards our theme - 'Leadership in Turbulent Times’. Marked for Saturday, 19th December 2020, the event will be online from 6pm IST onwards.

Bringing together thinkers, leaders and academicians to draw a blueprint for what lies ahead for young leaders stepping into the world - be it India or across the globe, the discussions will include several iconic sessions that will be addressed by eminent personalities. Young leaders and aspirants will find themselves energised as they hear different leaders, each coming from different walks of life to shed light on questions like "What the future holds for us?" or "How to stay ahead in challenging times" and more.
