Collective Growth: Secure future...... This is the tag line for the upcoming Conference: World Hindu Economic Forum (WHEF) London 2015, taking place 11-13 September 2015 at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel Westminster. What does the Tag line actually mean? We believe and practice Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam i.e. the whole world is one family, and a family that works together and shares together is truly a family that progresses. We Hindu’s know how to create wealth, and also share this knowledge of wealth creation with others. Our ancestors have expressed their wisdom in the Vedas “Sat Hasta Samahara, Sahastra Hasta Sankira”. It literally means “Create wealth with 100 hands and share it with 1000 hands”.

WHEF seeks to bring together financially successful elements within the Hindu Society such as traders, bankers, technocrats, investors, industrialists, businessmen, professionals, along with economists and thinkers, so that each group can share their business knowledge, experience, expertise and resources with their fellow brethren. We also aim to encourage, support and mentor budding Hindu entrepreneurs. The end goal is to generate surplus wealth and make society prosperous. The WHEF journey began in 2012 in Hong Kong, followed by successful annual forums in Bangkok 2013 & New Delhi 2014, along with several regional forums along the way.

Today, there are economies passing through a turbulent phase, but at the same time we have emerging economies that are providing us great opportunities. The issue is how to leverage the global situation for collective growth and a secure future. Hindus should cooperate and collaborate globally so that market access is facilitated amongst them. Market access across geographic zones and countries, spreading from Auckland to Alaska and Oslo to Johannesburg, cutting across the entire globe – needs to be created. Similar cooperation can be envisaged in the area of capital, enabling availability of appropriately priced capital. WHEF believes that technologically savvy Hindus should be matched with those who can convert technical innovation into business with ideas, funds and market access.

The London conference expects over 400 delegates and invitations have been extended to government ministers and public personalities from the UK and India and some have already confirmed attendance. At the previous Delhi conference, WHEF attracted over 1700 delegates from 53 countries. It was graced by business leaders, government ministers and a wide range of individuals interested in economic affairs.
