Chadha was speaking to Nihal Kumar, Correspondent, The New Indian, after an interactive session at the FICCI Young Leaders Summit 2025 in Mumbai.
Praising FICCI’s sustained investment in nurturing next-generation leadership, Chadha said he has been observing the forum’s work for years.
“FICCI Young Leaders Forum is doing excellent work and I have closely been watching all that they’ve done over the years,” he said. “Whenever they invite me to their events, I’m more than happy to come and participate.”
Describing his interaction with young participants at the Mumbai summit as energising, Chadha said the session left him deeply inspired.
“I love speaking to the youth, about the youth, for the youth, and it was a fantastic, fantastic interaction.”
He added that youth dialogues remain central to his public engagement.
“I always feel recharged and motivated after every such session,” he said, underscoring how conversations with young professionals and students continue to shape his perspectives on governance and public life.
The AAP leader’s presence at the summit was part of a broader agenda that brought together policymakers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and changemakers on a single platform. Chadha’s remarks reinforced the role of youth-led thinking in shaping India’s civic and developmental future.
The FICCI Young Leaders Summit, which made its Mumbai debut this year, aims to strengthen youth participation in policy visioning, nation-building and leadership—areas Chadha has repeatedly emphasised as crucial for India’s journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047.
