27th AsiaOne ASEAN Business & Social Forum 2026, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

New Delhi : AsiaOne Media Group successfully hosted the 27th Edition of AsiaOne ASEAN Business & Social Forum 2026 on the 10th of June 2026 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. With the dominant theme of "Celebrating the Spirit of ASEAN," this Summit spotlighted the strengthening of bilateral trade, investment, and innovation between the ASEAN Nations and the wider Asian region, while also fostering strategic partnerships across the Asia Pacific region.

The 27th AsiaOne ASEAN Business & Social Forum 2026 in Kuala Lumpur marked a clear shift from earlier global editions to a sharper ASEAN-focused strategy, aligning with one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the world. Unlike previous forums in Dubai, London, Singapore, and India, this edition was more market-entry driven, with Kuala Lumpur serving as a gateway to Southeast Asia. This made the platform far more relevant for organizations looking to expand regionally, build cross-border relationships, and tap into emerging opportunities across ASEAN economies.

The event was supported by key global partners, including Indira University, Apollo Hospitals and HOSAF Group Bangladesh. The contribution of some of the keynote speakers and distinguished participants, including diplomats from 27 countries, was instrumental in making the Forum a resounding success.

The glittering event saw the presence of some of the world's most influential figures, including diplomats from 27 countries, along with esteemed business leaders, investors, and professionals from Asia, the Gulf, the US, Africa, and beyond.

Welcome Address

Mr. Rajat Raj Shukal, Global Head & Principal Partner of AsiaOne Media Group, extended a warm welcome to the esteemed diplomats from different countries of the world and prominent business and social leaders.

He said:

"Unlike some of our contemporaries, we would not look at market capitalization when we list and feature brands and leaders. We would also want to list and feature brands and leaders based on the emotional quotient, the amazing phenomenal product that they've done, the strategy that they've created, and how they've taken it to go-to-market. Because we also feel with evolution, now it's not only contemporary or old traditional strategies that make a brand a brand. But to make a brand, it's important to have passion and vision."

Keynote Speakers

Other keynote speakers at the forum were:

  • Mr. Moazzam Hossain, Chairman, Hosaf Group

  • Mr. Ariyaseela Wickramanayake, Founder and Chairman, Pelwatte Dairy, Sri Lanka

  • Prof. Ravi Naidu, Managing Director & CEO, crcCARE, Australia

  • Mr. Shirish Nimgaonkar, Founder and CEO, eBlissAI, USA
