As part of this recognition, Chadha has received an invitation to participate in the Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century program at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) in Boston and Cambridge from March 5 to 13.
This program unites leading politicians, policymakers, executives, and thought leaders for a comprehensive learning experience centered on global governance, leadership, and policy innovation.

It includes rigorous academic sessions, case studies, peer-to-peer learning, and engagement with Harvard’s esteemed faculty and international experts.
In an era where countries confront pressing issues like economic instability, unemployment, climate change, energy crises, and growing social inequalities, the program provides leaders with advanced insights, tools, and strategies to maneuver through intricate policy environments and enact substantial change. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications, it guarantees participants acquire both a global viewpoint and hands-on problem-solving capabilities.
Expressing his excitement, Chadha remarked: "I am delighted to return to school. It is a privilege to be chosen for this esteemed program, and I am sincerely thankful to both Harvard and the World Economic Forum for this opportunity. This is a unique moment to deepen my grasp of global leadership and policymaking while collaborating with some of the brightest minds in governance and public affairs. It’s truly a ‘back to school’ moment for me, and I am eager to gain new insights that will enrich India’s policymaking landscape."
Chadha also highlighted the importance of applying global insights to India's policy framework: "I am enthusiastic about bringing back valuable global perspectives to improve policymaking in India. The world is increasingly interconnected, and learning from leading policymakers and experts will assist us in crafting better solutions to challenges that affect not only India but the globe as a whole."
The WEF’s Young Global Leaders initiative plays a crucial role in shaping the upcoming generation of global changemakers by offering transformational learning opportunities like this Harvard program. Through this experience, Chadha will enhance his strategic decision-making, leadership, and governance skills, ensuring that his contributions to policymaking remain impactful, innovative, and globally informed.
