Mumbai,
May 22, 2026: The third edition of the Billionaires for
Peace Conclave (BFP), an initiative by the I Am Peacekeeper Movement (IAPM),
concluded successfully on 21st May 2026 at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai,
bringing together Nobel Laureates including Mohan Munasinghe, Kailash
Satyarthi, Houcine Abassi and Grigorii Pelman, alongside policymakers, business
leaders, philanthropists, spiritual voices and cultural icons for conversations
around peace, humanity and sustainable progress. The Honourable 14th President
of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind attended the conclave as Chief Guest, while
Governor of Maharashtra Shri Jishnu Dev Varma and RSS Member Shri Suresh
Bhaiyaji Joshi, attended as Guest of Honour. The conclave also featured a
recorded virtual address by President of Timor-Leste and Nobel Peace Laureate
José Manuel Ramos-Horta.
Addressing
the gathering, Former President of India, Ram Nath Kovind said,
“Material prosperity alone cannot create human well-being. Peace cannot merely
be viewed as the absence of war; it is the presence of justice, trust,
opportunity, and dignity for all.”
Governor
of Maharashtra, Jishnu Dev Varma said,
“The true strength of any civilization lies in its ability to nurture peace,
coexistence, and human dignity.”
Commenting
on the successful conclusion of the conclave, Dr. Huzaifa Khorakiwala, Founder
of the I Am Peacekeeper Movement, said,
“The vision behind the Billionaires for Peace Conclave was to bring together
Nobel Peace Laureates and thought leaders from across business, governance,
spirituality, philanthropy and the social sector on one platform to
collectively reflect on the importance of peace in today’s world. When
influential voices unite with a common purpose, their message has the power to
inspire millions across the world.”
Building
on the momentum of previous editions and the Global Justice, Love & Peace
Summit held in Dubai last year, the conclave has now reached over 2.1 million
people globally through its various peace-led initiatives across schools,
colleges, institutions and communities. The movement continues to drive
conversations around inner peace, justice, compassion and collective
responsibility across geographies.
One
of the key highlights of the conclave was a series of discussions centred
around themes including Inner Peace is the Foundation of World Peace, Justice
is a Companion of Peace and The Role of Billionaires in Spreading World Peace
and Justice.
The
conclave also witnessed the signing of an MoU between the Billionaires for
Peace Conclave and the Sood Charity Foundation, with actor and philanthropist
Sonu Sood extending support towards the movement’s larger vision of peace,
humanitarian work and social impact initiatives.
Speaking
at the conclave, actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood said,
“I think it’s an amazing platform. The people here are the best in the world.
They are winners and achievers. And when they come to this platform, it feels
amazing that there are like-minded people who are there to help society.”
Nobel
Laureate, Mohan Munasinghe added, “The world today is
facing deeply interconnected challenges including climate stress, inequality,
resource scarcity and conflict. Addressing these issues requires collaboration
across governments, businesses and civil society.”
Additionally,
the conclave also honoured several distinguished personalities through the I Am
Peacekeeper Movement Champion Awards, recognising their contributions across
business, peacebuilding, public service and the arts. Some of the notable
awardees included Acharya Balkrishna, who was recognised in the Business
category, Acharya Lokesh Muni in the Justice & Peace category, Aditi
Tatkare in the Youth & Women category, and Aishwarya Majmudar in the Artist
& Literature category, among others.
The
conclave reinforced India's growing stature as an important global destination
for conversations centred around peace, leadership and humanity.
