New Delhi, September 24th, 2025: FORE School of Management, New Delhi, participated at the prestigious 26th Edition of the Asian Business & Social Forum 2025, organized by URS Media & AsiaOne Magazine at JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, Dubai. The global forum celebrated excellence by recognizing the Greatest Brands & Leaders 2025 – Asia, Americas, and Africa, selected through extensive consumer and industry research.

At this international platform, Prof. Subir Verma, Director, FORE School of Management, was conferred for his exemplary leadership and contributions to management education. The recognition reaffirmed FORE’s growing global footprint in shaping future-ready leaders. Furthermore, FORE School of Management was recognized as one of India’s Greatest Brands 2025 by URS Media & AsiaOne Magazine at the event.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Verma, in his keynote address, said: “The world is no longer flat; it has become uneven, disrupted by AI, climate change, and geopolitics. In such times, leadership must rest on three mantras – to look around, to look beyond, and to look within. Leaders must understand the fast-changing landscape, cultivate adaptive thinking, and create a shared purpose with their constituencies. Above all, leadership is about credibility, authenticity, and building trust. True leaders are not born but shaped in adversity, with a moral compass that guides them to become multipliers of human talent and drivers of collective growth.”

The forum featured keynote addresses, partner presentations, and multiple award categories, including Diplomatic Excellence Awards and World’s Greatest CXO Awards. Leaders from 16 countries participated, making the platform a hub for cross-border exchange of ideas, partnerships, and thought leadership. The evening concluded with a gala networking dinner, further strengthening global industry and academic collaborations.
