World
Economic
Forum
Week
at
Davos
2026
to
highlight
India’s
role
in
debates
on
equality,
climate
and
social
impact.
Speaking

explored
a
major
collaboration

Self-Help
Groups.
The
appearance
also
marked
three
years
of
the
Alliance
moving
international
gender
commitments
into
action
on
the
ground.
Through
policy
dialogue
and
partnerships,
the
organisation
focuses
on
skilling,
enterprise
growth
and
fair
participation,
with
Davos
2026
offering
a
global
platform
to
present
these
efforts
and
seek
wider
cooperation
with
governments
and
industry.

sessions
and

On

day
at

2026,
Smriti

joined
several
high-level

At
the
session
titled
“Strategic

in
the
Bio-Revolution:
Women

underlined
that

and
inclusive
participation
across
societies
and
economies.
Smriti
Irani
also
took
part
in
the
“Market-Minded,
Mission-Driven”
roundtable
at

where

discussed
how
social
enterprises
can
grow
sustainably
without
losing
focus
on
impact.

at
the

Leadership
and
Multistakeholder
Action
for

spotlight
and
media
presence
Smriti
Irani’s
current
Davos
role
follows
a
high-profile
return
to
Indian
television
with
Kyunkii
2.0,
25
years
after
the
original
show
first
appeared.
The
new
season
revived
a
familiar
format
for
a
fresh
generation,
again
placing
Smriti
Irani
at
the
centre
of
public
conversation
while
Smriti
Irani
continues
work
in
policy,
governance
and
global
advocacy.
Her
office
later
released
short
glimpses
from
Davos
2026
on
social
media,
offering
viewers
a
closer
look
at
meetings,
lounges
and
panel
rooms.

partnership
with
Andhra
Pradesh
A
central
moment
at
Davos
2026
was
Smriti
Irani’s
meeting
with
Andhra
Pradesh
Chief
Minister
Shri
Nara
Chandrababu
Naidu.
Shri
Nara
Chandrababu
Naidu
appreciated
the
Alliance’s
approach
and
formally
invited
a
partnership
with
the
state
government,
aiming
to
link
global
gender
goals
with
specific
interventions
for
women
across
Andhra
Pradesh.
The
proposed
collaboration
targets
nearly
five
lakh
women,
with
a
focus
on
supporting
existing
Self-Help
Groups
and
women-led
businesses.
Plans
include
skilling,
credit
access
and
enterprise
support,
designed
to
convert
policy
discussions
into
measurable
local
outcomes
and
reinforce
the
view
that
women’s
entrepreneurship
is
core
to
sustainable,
inclusive
development.
Smriti
Irani’s
participation
at
Davos
2026
therefore
connects
work
in
entertainment,
governance
and
social
impact,
while
the
Alliance’s
three-year
journey
gains
fresh
momentum
through
international
visibility
and
state-level
cooperation.
The
engagements
signal
continued
emphasis
on
evidence-based
policy,
cleaner
environments
and
long-term
investment
in
women’s
economic
leadership
across
India.
