The annual ‘Rejuvenate Series’ of CXO Verse, previously known as CXO Genie, attracted esteemed CXOs from various industries for a transformative three-day residential conference. The event offered a unique opportunity for networking, brainstorming, and collaborative learning in a relaxed atmosphere.

Founded in 2013 by Vinay Bansal, CXO Verse has evolved from a trusted network for C-suite executives addressing leadership challenges to a global platform focused on empowering leaders to influence economies, drive innovation, and promote sustainability. The rebranding to CXO Verse during this event signifies a shift towards a more inclusive and global leadership ecosystem.

Latika Arora, who leads CXO Verse for the Asia-Pacific region, noted that the platform has grown into a thriving ecosystem where C-suite executives tackle industry-defining challenges. This year’s Rejuvenate Series highlighted the organization’s commitment to sustainability, AI-driven finance, and the future of leadership. Dhawal Parvartikar, the Middle East Head of CXO Verse, emphasized that the insights shared during the event reflect the power of collaborative thought leadership, which will guide businesses through global economic shifts and the fifth industrial revolution.

The conference featured in-depth discussions on AI-driven finance, examining its recent adoption and potential benefits for future financial management. Over the past decade, CXO Verse has established a robust leadership network comprising over 2000 members.

Vinay Bansal set the stage for the 2025 business landscape, emphasizing the growing importance of sustainability-driven innovations in areas like green mobility, quick commerce, and health technology. Additionally, Pranjal Sharma shared insights on the upcoming phase of technological evolution, titled “The Next New – Navigating the Fifth Industrial Revolution,” which addresses its effects on leadership and decision-making.

A significant highlight was the panel discussion on sustainability and innovation, featuring experts Abhishek Gupta, Ramkumar Balasubramaniam, and Ramadoss Tamil Selvan, moderated by Dhawal Parvartikar. This session focused on how CFOs are increasingly balancing growth, compliance, and innovation while integrating sustainability into their financial frameworks. Another important takeaway was the emerging value-driven mindset of Gen Z, who are moving away from traditional brand loyalty in favor of sustainability-conscious choices.

Lisa Ray’s session on “Resetting & Redefining Success” provided insights into incorporating wellness and longevity into professional growth. Following this, Binod Shankar discussed value discovery and the alignment of beliefs, values, and goals for meaningful leadership. Kamal Shah encouraged leaders to prioritize early development and find common ground across generations for sustainable leadership growth.

What distinguished CXO Verse’s ‘Rejuvenate Series’ was its personal engagement. Unlike traditional conferences, many attendees brought their families, fostering a sense of camaraderie that extended beyond professional networking. This unique aspect enriched the event, making it both intellectually stimulating and personally rewarding.

As the ‘Rejuvenate Series’ continues to raise the bar for leadership events, CXO Verse remains committed to providing leaders with actionable strategies, global insights, and a strong focus on sustainable leadership. With plans to host impactful events, create sustainable digital initiatives, and expand global collaborations, CXO Verse is set to redefine the future of leadership.
