Smriti
Irani
is
set
to
return
to
Davos
2026
as
Chairperson
of
the
Alliance
for
Global
Good,
leading
the
WE
Lead
Lounge
from
20th
to
22nd
January.
The
initiative
will
focus
on
gender
equity
within
economic
systems,
using
strategic
dialogues
with
global
leaders
to
turn
policy
ideas
into
measurable
action.
The
visit
also
marks
three
years
of
the
Alliance
for
Global
Good
–
Gender
Equity
and
Equality,
which
Smriti
Irani
launched
to
shift
gender
discussions
from
talk
to
delivery.
Through
platforms
like
the
WE
Lead
Lounge,
the
Alliance
aligns
policy,
capital,
and
skills,
seeking
outcomes
that
work
across
institutions
and
sectors
at
a
global
scale.
Smriti
Irani,
Davos
engagement
and
WE
Lead
Lounge
Before
this
Davos
2026
agenda,
Smriti
Irani
had
already
combined
politics,
entertainment,
and
public
purpose
across
different
spaces.
From
the
relaunch
of
Kyunkii
2.0,
which
revived
a
major
television
chapter,
to
an
appearance
at
TIME100
New
York,
the
public
figure
has
moved
between
culture
and
leadership
while
maintaining
visibility
in
national
and
global
conversations.
At
Davos
2026,
Smriti
Irani
will
use
the
WE
Lead
Lounge
as
a
hub
for
engagement
with
business
leaders,
policy
experts,
and
institutions.
The
programme
will
look
at
economic
resilience,
future-ready
workforces,
and
next-generation
growth,
while
strengthening
cross-sector
partnerships
that
can
continue
once
the
annual
meeting
ends.
“As
Chairperson
of
the
Alliance
for
Global
Good,
I
look
forward
to
engaging
with
global
leaders
at
the
WE
Lead
Lounge
at
#Davos2026.
Global
advancement
in
its
new
paradigm
extends
beyond
the
mobilisation
of
wealth,
calling
for
foresight,
collaboration,
and
inclusion.
Through
the
WE
Lead
Lounge,
the
Alliance
builds
on
its
strategic
engagements
with
over
5,000
international
delegations
and
12,000
industry
partners
to
advance
conversations
that
move
from
intent
to
implementation.
In
collaboration
with
the
Gates
Foundation,
the
Women
Collective
Forum,
and
the
Confederation
of
Indian
Industry,
the
WE
Lead
Lounge
will
host
12+
strategic
dialogues,
bringing
together
global
institutions
including
Deloitte,
Bain,
Kearney,
The
Adecco
Group,
Bank
of
America,
and
Vital
Voices
to
deliberate
on
economic
resilience,
workforce
preparedness,
and
next-generation
growth,
strengthening
cross-sector
partnerships
that
endure
beyond
Davos.”
Smriti
Irani
and
Alliance
for
Global
Good
partners
The
Alliance
for
Global
Good,
led
by
Smriti
Irani,
has
built
a
wide
partner
base
over
three
years,
working
with
corporations,
multilateral
bodies,
and
civil
society.
That
network
is
now
channelled
into
the
WE
Lead
Lounge,
which
aims
to
serve
as
a
bridge
between
intent
and
on-ground
programmes
framed
around
equity,
inclusion,
and
long-term
economic
stability.

Smriti
Irani
shared
the
Davos
2026
plan
through
an
official
office
handle
post,
highlighting
the
WE
Lead
Lounge
as
the
space
where
the
Alliance’s
three-year
journey
will
be
showcased.
The
message
underlined
that
global
progress
now
depends
on
collaboration
and
inclusion,
not
just
capital
flows,
and
pointed
to
long-term
alliances
with
organisations
across
several
industries.
By
linking
the
Alliance
for
Global
Good’s
work,
the
WE
Lead
Lounge
programme,
and
earlier
public
milestones,
Smriti
Irani
ties
cultural
influence
to
institutional
change.
Davos
2026
will
therefore
act
as
a
checkpoint
for
the
Alliance’s
gender
equity
agenda,
while
also
shaping
new
partnerships
designed
to
last
beyond
the
event’s
three-day
schedule.
