Conference Theme

From Research to Reality – Ideas, Innovation and Impact

The theme emphasises the pivotal role of doctoral research in shaping pathways that connect rigorous scholarship with meaningful real-world outcomes. It underscores the transformative journey of knowledge from the germination of original ideas, through innovative exploration and critical inquiry, to the creation of impactful solutions that address the pressing challenges of our times.

Doctoral research today is not confined to advancing theory alone; it is equally about demonstrating how intellectual rigour can be harmonised with societal needs and organisational realities. Anvesh 2026 thus calls attention to the synergy between conceptual depth and practical relevance, inspiring scholars to contribute not only to academic discourses but also to sustainable development, inclusive growth, and societal well-being.

In keeping with this spirit, the conference provides an enabling platform for emerging researchers to present their work, exchange perspectives, and engage in dialogue that cuts across disciplines and geographies. By bringing together ideas, innovation, and impact, Anvesh 2026 aspires to foster a community of inquiry where research is celebrated not merely as an academic pursuit but as a catalyst for change, shaping better organisations, empowered communities, and a more equitable society.
