Nians is proud to announce its association as a Gold Partner for two of India’s most influential marketing events—the PITCH CMO Summit 2026 and the IMPACT CMO 40 Under 40 Awards 2026.
Scheduled to take place on 5th June, these events will bring together some of the brightest minds in marketing, branding, media, and business. The day promises insightful discussions, meaningful networking opportunities, and a celebration of the professionals who are shaping the future of marketing in India.
A Day of Insight, Inspiration and Recognition
The PITCH CMO Summit and the IMPACT CMO 40 Under 40 Awards have a strong reputation within the marketing community for bringing together decision-makers, innovators, and changemakers under one roof.
The summit focuses on the evolving challenges and opportunities facing modern marketers, while the awards celebrate the achievements of young leaders who are driving measurable impact across brands and businesses.
Together, the two events create a unique platform where ideas, experiences, and achievements come together to inspire the next phase of growth for the industry.
Exploring the Future at PITCH CMO Summit 2026
This year’s PITCH CMO Summit is centered around the theme: “Future-Ready Brands: Navigating the Multi-Path Consumer Journey.”
The theme reflects one of the biggest realities facing marketers today. Consumer behavior has changed dramatically over the past few years. Customers no longer follow a straightforward path from awareness to purchase. Instead, they interact with brands across multiple platforms, devices, and touchpoints before making decisions.
A consumer may discover a product through social media, research it through online reviews, receive recommendations from peers, and finally complete a purchase through an entirely different channel. This fragmented journey has made marketing both more challenging and more exciting.
At the same time, advancements in technology, artificial intelligence, automation, and data analytics have created new possibilities for brands. While these tools offer greater precision and efficiency, marketers continue to face important questions around building trust, maintaining authenticity, and creating meaningful customer experiences.
Attendees can expect valuable insights into consumer behavior, brand strategy, digital transformation, innovation, and the future of customer engagement.
More importantly, the event will provide a space for transparent conversations about what is working, what is changing, and what marketers need to do to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Celebrating Emerging Leaders at the IMPACT CMO 40 Under 40 Awards
Following the summit, the focus will shift toward recognizing the next generation of marketing leadership through the IMPACT CMO 40 Under 40 Awards 2026.
Over the years, these awards have become one of the most respected recognitions in the industry. The platform honors 40 outstanding marketing professionals under the age of 40 who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, and business impact.
The selected leaders represent a diverse range of industries and categories, but they share a common trait—the ability to create meaningful results through effective marketing strategies and forward-thinking leadership.
Each recognition highlights the significant contribution these professionals are making to the organizations they represent and to the broader marketing ecosystem.
Beyond the awards themselves, the evening serves as an opportunity for industry peers, senior leaders, and emerging professionals to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate collective success.

As marketing continues to evolve, conversations around consumer behavior, technology, creativity, and business growth have become more important than ever.
