Progress Alliance, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the holistic development of entrepreneurs, organised the Mega Business Meet 2026 in Surat. The event witnessed participation from more than 2,000 entrepreneurs who engaged in discussions on aligning business growth with human values.
The gathering served as a platform for entrepreneurs to exchange ideas on strengthening their businesses through collaboration and mutual support, while also focusing on enhancing personal well-being, satisfaction and happiness. The discussions emphasised the integration of human values into business practices, drawing from the principles of conscious living and co-existence.
The keynote address was delivered by Som Tyagi, a prominent proponent of Madhyasth Darshan (Jeevan Vidya). He spoke on the distinction between the self and the physical body, explaining that each has different needs and that true happiness stems from inner transformation. He highlighted that material success alone does not lead to fulfilment, and stressed the importance of cultivating positive mental and emotional states to achieve lasting contentment.
