Sydney, Australia – May 2025:
More than 380 influential Hindu business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals gathered in Sydney for the Hindu Economic Forum (HEF) NSW 2025, in a landmark event that celebrated Dharma-driven commerce, cultural unity, and global collaboration.
Held under the theme of “Culture, Collaboration, and Commerce,” the forum served as a dynamic platform to strengthen the global Hindu business network and promote ethical enterprise rooted in timeless Hindu values.
A major highlight of the event was the official launch of The Hindu Manifesto and the Hindu Business Directory (HBD) – a global digital "mala" envisioned to unite Hindu-owned businesses across continents. The HBD is designed to facilitate seamless networking, economic collaboration, and a collective commitment to community upliftment.
Kapil Bajaj, CEO of HEF NSW, described the initiative with a powerful metaphor:
“We, the Hindu business community, are the pearls. The Hindu Business Directory is the sacred thread that binds us in purpose and prosperity.”
The forum also witnessed the grand announcement of the upcoming World Hindu Economic Forum (WHEF) 2025, scheduled to be held in Adelaide on August 2–3. The announcement sparked enthusiasm among attendees, who pledged their support with the rallying call:
“Register. Connect. Contribute. Support 'Proud to Buy Hindu'.”
Throughout the day, leaders echoed a collective vision of unity and empowerment:
“Together, we rise. Together, we lead. Together, we build the future.”
HEF NSW 2025 underscored the growing influence of Hindu entrepreneurs on the global economic stage and reaffirmed their commitment to building a self-reliant, values-driven, and globally connected business ecosystem.
