The hosted Mr Rajdeep Sardesai as our guest in Hong Kong on 23-May-2026 over a at our annual marquee event . As is our practice, the fireside was under Chatham House Rule enabling a candid & "no holds barred" conversation. A memorable evening of dialogue, and thoughtful exchange(s) and taking (from our members & fireside host) both the tough & lighter questions with candour, warmth & self- deprecating humor. It was quite an evening not to forget by all present for time to come.

The evening was "EMCEED" by our member Anjum Ghosh.

has decided that starting in our 25th Year, #2526, we will have a podcast with each of our guests and publish it our YouTube Channel. Reason being, our Firesides are held under Chatham House Rule hence what is discussed remains within the room. Whilst we will continue our Firesides under Chatham House Rule, we will do a separate podcast with each of our guests, such that it benefits not just our members (who couldn’t attend) and importantly for the purpose of wider social consumption of our what our Guests had to say.

This is our first podcast of our first fireside of the Year (2026) held on 8-March with 50th Chief Justice of India, Justice DY Chandrachud. This podcast was done by our members (& also MC members), Vrishali Shekhar & Pushkar Sane .

in our Silver Jubilee Year #2526 celebrated IWD on 8-Mar in HK, over a fireside with (our guest) the 50th Chief Justice of India Dr. Dhananjaya Yashwant Chandrachud. With the theme this year for Women’s Day of , it is particularly fitting that we hosted the Justice, as his judicial legacy is deeply embedded with advancing women’s rights and gender justice. It was a very engaging discussion, all under Chatham House Rule. Apart from the Fireside, we also did a podcast with him for our YouTube Channel for the benefit for all to hear his view (as our Fireside is under Chatham House Rule) and will be released soon. The evening was MCed by Reema Shankar.

With 40% of our members & 33% of the Management Committee being females, we welcomed each of our female members that evening by presenting a rose and a small token of appreciation to celebrate IWD.

The event sponsors were ICICI Bank Hong Kong ICICI Bank & TAM Group TAM Group
