Dear Reader,
When you see Samvād 2025 with CITLoB as the host, you already know you’re in for a high calibre gathering in the language, translation, and localization space. But today, I’m writing to you with even more conviction—because in partnership with FICCI, this year’s edition is poised to break new ground.
Yes — CITLoB + FICCI together make a difference you can feel.
🚀 What the CITLoB × FICCI Partnership Brings to the Table
• Institutional Reach & Credibility: FICCI adds national gravitas. Expect more policymakers, industry leaders, and decision-makers — all paying attention. That means your presence matters more.
• Stronger Participation: Thanks to FICCI’s network, participation expands far beyond language firms — reaching government bodies, enterprises, startups, and digital innovators.
• Elevated Awards & Recognition: This year’s Translation Context Awards (hosted by CITLoB) carry increased prestige. Being shortlisted under this expanded platform is a mark of national recognition.
• Policy Bridges & Influence: FICCI’s voice in policy can push localization and language tech agendas into the spotlight. Your insights can contribute directly to national conversations.
✨ Why YOU Should Be There (Now More Than Ever)
• Be Seen & Heard Where It Counts: Samvād brings you face-to-face with the people shaping our future — from boardrooms to ministries to innovation labs.
• Turn Awards into Opportunity : Winning or even being shortlisted can transform your credibility — with clients, partners, and institutions.
• Lead the Dialogue, Don’t Just Watch It: Sessions at Samvād shape strategy and systems — and this year, your voice could inform policy.
• Network with Purpose: Meet collaborators across tech, education, enterprise, and government — This isn’t a single-track industry meet.
