Amidst the Gloom, A Gathering of Grit, Grace & Growth | Bengal Business Council's Annual Convention & Vision Conclave 2025 👏 🚀

At a time when the headlines around Bengal are often filled with doubt and despair, we witnessed something different. Something brighter.

The Annual Convention & Vision Conclave 2025 by the Bengal Business Council - বঙ্গীয় বাণিজ্য পরিষদ, held at the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, was a vibrant celebration of entrepreneurial spirit, cultural pride, and a collective commitment to Bengal’s resurgence.

From a powerful keynote by economist Abhirup Sarkar, to panels that spanned healthcare innovation and the food & hospitality renaissance, to a leadership masterclass by none other than Sourav Ganguly — every moment was a reminder of the depth, diversity, and determination that exists in Bengal’s business community.

The gathering brought together founders, industrialists, legacy brand custodians, and next-gen entrepreneurs — united not just by profit, but by purpose. From Chowman to Cookme, from Manipal to Disha, from K.C. Das to Techno India — these are not just companies, they are carriers of Bengal’s identity, ambition, and imagination.

While others may write Bengal off, we choose to show up. To build. To collaborate. To believe.

This wasn’t just an event. It was a bright spot of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy narrative.

Kolkata Calling was proud to be part of it. ❤️
