Delegates from seven countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Qatar, and South Korea, attended the conclave, which focused on three themes: Consciousness, Connect, and Collaboration.

The event was attended by key dignitaries, including Shri Santosh Gangwar, Governor of Jharkhand; Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Union Minister of State; BL Verma, MP; Bansuri Swaraj, MP; and Vagish Pathak, Chairman of Sattvik Certifications. They highlighted the importance of collaboration between industry, certification bodies, and policymakers to build trust in food systems.
