Whenever you attend an event, one of the first things on your mind is the food. Will it be good? Will there be enough variety? Will it be something you remember long after the event is over?
A great meal can turn a good experience into an unforgettable one. And, a disappointing spread can leave people longing for something better.
At Skift, we believe food is just as important as the conversations happening on stage. It is about creating a cultural experience that reflects the diversity, creativity, and innovation that define the travel industry.
That is why, at Skift India Forum 2025, happening in Delhi on March 17-18, the food will be more than just a meal. It will be a journey through the incredible culinary landscape of India.
Travel and food are deeply intertwined. Ask anyone about their most memorable trips, and chances are they will talk about something they ate along the way.
India is a country where food is not just sustenance but an essential part of identity and culture. Every dish carries history, whether it is a royal Mughlai recipe perfected in the courts of the Mughals or a humble street-side chaat that has delighted generations.
Each region tells its own story through food, shaped by centuries of tradition and influenced by the people who have carried these flavors forward.
At Skift India Forum, we are bringing this diversity to life, offering attendees a taste of the many culinary traditions that make India one of the world’s greatest food destinations.
If you have attended a Skift Live event, you know that we do not settle for ordinary. Last year, we made sure that the food was as much a part of the experience as the panel discussions and networking sessions.
Attendees explored a variety of regional dishes, giving them a chance to discover new flavors while exchanging ideas about the future of travel. This year, we are taking it even further by curating an experience that reflects the depth and richness of Indian cuisine.
A great event should engage all the senses. Thought-provoking discussions, meaningful connections, and a dining experience that sparks conversations over shared plates.
We believe that great food fuels great ideas, and at Skift India Forum, every meal will be an opportunity to explore, connect, and celebrate the culinary traditions that make India a destination like no other.
There is no better place to experience India’s gastronomic heritage than Delhi, a city where every meal tells a story. The capital is a melting pot of flavors, bringing together influences from across the country and beyond.
Walk through Chandni Chowk, and you will find dishes that have remained unchanged for centuries. Mughlai delicacies, buttery parathas, syrupy jalebis, and spicy chaats fill the air with an aroma that instantly transports you to a different era.
At the same time, Delhi’s fine-dining scene is pushing the boundaries of Indian cuisine. Top chefs are reinterpreting traditional recipes, experimenting with flavors, and redefining how Indian food is experienced.
This contrast between old and new makes Delhi the perfect setting for a forum that explores both the legacy and the future of travel.
Skift India Forum is not just about insights and trends. It is about creating an experience that lingers long after the event is over. Food will be a central part of that experience, bringing people together in the way only a great meal can.
Will you discover a dish that reminds you of home? Or will you step out of your comfort zone and try something that sparks your next travel adventure?
Join us in Delhi on March 17-18 for two days of industry-leading discussions, networking with the brightest minds in travel, and a culinary journey that captures the essence of India.
Come for the future of travel. Stay for the flavors of India.
