POY India

This photograph shows a session at the inaugural Power of Youth India event, held at Zorba the Buddha, an ashram in New Delhi. POY India was the first global summit after Power of Youth became a full time events company, with delegates attending from 18 countries. It was a colourful and diverse event with people who ran businesses from a wide range of business sectors: tech startups, restaurants, exports, hardware, education, even a music festival.

Zorba the Buddha was in some ways an ideal venue for an international event – it’s a beautiful garden with lots of picturesque buildings (including this one with coloured lights, which will be forever known as “The Disco Hut”), far removed from the busy streets of Delhi. In a country as busy and chaotic as India it’s helpful to work in a peaceful and photogenic ashram.

Power of Youth events are designed to be both exclusive and inclusive, a safe space where entrepreneurs can be themselves and learn from each other without being interrupted by the outside world or the constant challenges of running a business. This photo was intended to show how POY India brought together people from all over the world, in an exotic but relaxing location.

One important factor that distinguishes POY from many other business support organisations around Scotland is it’s international ambition – there is a central aim to connect local entrepreneurs with international entrepreneurs. Taking Scottish entrepreneurs to India was a fun experience, but also resulted in many mutually beneficial connections and collaborations. Hopefully this photo captures a little bit of the magic from where it all began.
