CNBC-TV18, India’s premier business news destination, has announced the launch of a new elite on-ground property: ‘CNBC-TV18 Market Forum: The Alpha Generators for 2026.’ This invitation-only conclave, set to take place in Mumbai on January 13, 2026, will assemble the most influential minds in finance, banking, and macroeconomics to chart a roadmap for superior investment returns in the coming year.

In the world of finance, “Alpha” represents the excess return an investment generates above its benchmark. As global and domestic markets face shifting capital flows and policy realignments, the forum aims to move beyond simple predictions. It will focus on structural shifts and high-conviction strategies required to identify wealth-creation opportunities before they become mainstream.

The forum features an array of high-profile sessions designed to provide depth and clarity for sophisticated investors:

• Keynote Conversation: Market legends Manish Chokhani (Director, Enam Holdings) and Raamdeo Agrawal (Chairman, Motilal Oswal Financial Services) will open the evening with a deep dive into the 2026 investment landscape.
• Corporate Growth Spotlight: Raamdeo Agrawal will further engage with Sanjay Agarwal (MD & CEO, AU Small Finance Bank) to discuss the bank’s journey from a multi-bagger stock to its future growth roadmap.
• The CIO Roundtable: A powerhouse panel featuring Sandeep Tandon (Quant Mutual Fund), Taher Badshah (Invesco Mutual Fund), and Neelesh Surana (Mirae Asset Investment Managers) will analyze how to generate alpha following a challenging 18-month cycle.

Beyond individual stocks, the forum will tackle the “big picture” with a dedicated macroeconomic session. Leading economists including Neelkanth Mishra (Axis Bank), Sajjid Chinoy (JPMorgan), and Saion Mukherjee (Nomura India) will share their expectations for the upcoming Union Budget and global economic trends.

Shereen Bhan, Managing Editor of CNBC-TV18, remarked, “The CNBC-TV18 Market Forum is about identifying where alpha is truly being created—before it becomes obvious. Long-term wealth creation requires clarity of thought and conviction-led decision-making.”

The event is supported by Mirae Asset Mutual Fund and ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund as partners, with Reliance Industries serving as an Associate Partner.
