Speak

We would like to hear
what you would argue about.

Two seated figures facing each other with lines of exchange flowing both ways between them.

This is an invitation, not an application. If you are running freight, a fleet, a warehouse estate or a supply chain in India, there is probably a conversation on this agenda you have strong views about, and we would rather have you in it than have a neat panel.

What we are actually looking for

Someone who has done it. That is the whole standard.

You do not need a media-trained delivery or a polished deck. You need to be able to describe something you built, ran, bought, inherited or fixed, including the part that did not work. The rooms we run reward candour and they punish roadmaps.

We are as interested in the programme that overran as the one that landed. More interested, usually. Everybody has already heard the success story.

Nobody buys the question.

Partnership can include a programme position, and where it does we publish it rather than implying it. What no partnership buys is the question a session takes on. The agenda sets that, the moderator runs the room, and every session ends in open floor. The argument you bring is the reason you are there.

What the format asks

Fifteen minutes of open floor in every session. No screened questions, no moderator filtering.Panels run as arguments, not presentations. Nobody will ask for forty slides.One prep call, half an hour. We shape the argument together so you are not surprised on the day.Three actions, written down: the session's Monday Morning Checklist. We will help you write it.Product pitches land badly in this room, and we will tell you so before you make one.

What you get

A room of peers rather than an audience. People who understand the problem at the level you work on it.The objections your own team never says to your face, from people with no stake in being polite.Editorial follow-through: sessions become written analysis on TNF India, attributed to you.A genuine reason to talk to the fleet owners, shippers, park developers and investors in the room, from the stage rather than from a stand.One named producer who handles the day, so you only think about the content.

Where we are looking right now

Open across the agenda, and particularly these three.

Decarbonising freight: the depot is the constraint, not the vehicleThe argument is that grid connection, not the vehicle, sets the pace.Needs someone who will put a real depot's timeline, duty cycle and total cost on screen, including what did not work.Panel two
Last-mile decarbonisation: the unit economics nobody publishesCost per delivery with driver retention counted in, and who really carries the financing.Needs someone close to the rider economics, speaking from that side of it.Fireside chat
Building the backbone: ports, airports, rail and road in a multimodal MaharashtraWhich of your lanes should already have moved, and what it costs that they have not.Needs someone who has actually changed a routing and can show the door-to-door comparison.Panel one

If your argument does not fit any of them, say so anyway.
