Inspiring Stories, Hot Ideas, Meaningful Conversations, Useful Networking
Welcome to the 10th Edition of the Bangalore Business Literature Festival, India’s most-attended and longest-running business literature festival.
The Bizlitfest celebrates and fosters the culture of reading, writing, and publishing business literature in all forms, among entrepreneurs, executives and graduate students. It curates meaningful and deeper conversations between authors, business leaders and readers so that they make better-informed and more nuanced decisions about business, environment and life.
Attendees can expect conversations involving prominent authors, CXOs, startup founders, academia, and thought leaders. The fest has also emerged as an excellent platform for networking between authors, readers, leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and students.
BBLF offers organizations and brands an excellent opportunity to be associated with a unique and meaningful conversation platform that promises to enhance the intellectual capital of the business community in India.
