Bengaluru, India’s innovation capital, is set to host Bengaluru Think Tank 2025, an exclusive, invite-only gathering of 60 enterprise leaders across industries. This event, a key initiative under the ICMG Enterprise Strategy & Architecture Rating & Awards, will bring together CEOs, CIOs, department heads, and strategists to challenge conventional thinking, solve real-world enterprise challenges, and explore the latest advancements in strategy, architecture, and digital transformation.
Unlike typical conferences that focus on tools, software features, and IT trends, ICMG Think Tank drives discussions that don’t expire—shaping enterprise evolution for the next decade.
After the success of the ICMG Dubai Think Tank, where global leaders debated architecture-driven enterprise transformation, we’re bringing this high-impact dialogue to Bengaluru.
Explore key takeaways from Dubai Think Tank to see what’s coming next!
Why Bengaluru?
As India’s tech capital, Bengaluru is home to global enterprises, leading IT firms, and cutting-edge startups. It represents the perfect intersection of business, technology, and innovation—making it the ideal city to discuss the future of enterprise strategy and architecture.
Industry leaders across sectors—including airlines, airport, retail, telecom, automotive, healthcare, and finance—will participate, ensuring a cross-functional exchange of ideas.
Key Themes of the Bengaluru Think Tank 2025
The Think Tank will focus on five core areas of enterprise success:

Case Studies & Success Stories – Learn from award-winning enterprises that have successfully transformed through strategy and architecture.
Awards Gala Night – Recognizing the best enterprise projects and leadership teams.
Networking & Collaboration – A curated gathering of 60 top leaders across industries, fostering high-value discussions and business connections.

The ICMG Enterprise Ratings & Awards
A major highlight of the event will be the ICMG Enterprise Ratings & Awards, where top enterprises, projects, and leaders will be recognized for their contributions to strategy and architecture excellence.
-Unlike individual awards for CIOs or Architects, ICMG Awards evaluate enterprise projects—recognizing not just a single leader, but the entire leadership team behind the winning project.
-These are NOT IT awards. IT isn’t separate from business—it must be helping HR, Sales, Product Engineering, and Customer Support.
