Rural Conclave 2025, the flagship annual knowledge platform of the Rural Marketing Association of India (RMAI), will be held in the second week of November 2025 at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. The conclave is designed as a high-impact forum that brings together rural thought leaders, policymakers, corporates, NGOs, startups, agencies, and academia to deliberate on the opportunities and challenges that will define the next phase of India’s rural transformation.
As India progresses towards 2030, the rural economy is no longer viewed only through the lens of agriculture—it is an evolving ecosystem marked by rising aspirations, expanding digital adoption, and increasing integration with national and global markets. The conclave will examine how growth in rural India can be achieved with dignity—empowering communities, fostering inclusion, and preserving cultural identity—while being accelerated by digital innovation across commerce, finance, and consumer engagement.
