A Diwali Evening of Exchange: Shaping the narrative for WEF Davos 2027

Are Switzerland and India ready to move beyond traditional outsourcing models?

As the lights of Diwali illuminate homes and communities around the world, we would like to invite you to a special evening bringing that same spirit of light, dialogue and connection to our community here in Zurich.

The Swiss-Indian Chamber of Commerce, together with Cognizant, warmly invites you to a Diwali celebration and lively exchange.

The evening opens with a dialogue between Philippe Reich, Chairman SICC, and Michael Neracher, Country Head Cognizant Switzerland. Rather than a traditional panel, we see this as an open exchange — participants are invited to ask questions and share their own experiences and ideas, creating momentum around a future Indo-Swiss AI Innovation Corridor.

That will help us shape the narrative we bring to the World Economic Forum.
The formal part will be followed by a Diwali-inspired Apéro with food, drinks and time to connect — in true festival spirit, with an open end.
