We are UEF

A platform.
A purpose.
A promise.

For over 45 years, the United Economic Forum (UEF) has quietly built a bridge — connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers from India’s most underrepresented communities to the world stage.


We’re not just here to celebrate success. We’re here to unlock it — through access to capital, knowledge, networks, and policy.
At the heart of UEF is a bold belief:



When you uplift the overlooked, you don’t just build businesses. You build a better economy.


Today, UEF is a growing movement of business leaders, technocrats, institutions, and youth — all aligned on one mission:

To build a Good Economy — inclusive, impactful, and built from the grassroots up.
