About the Summit

India’s Largest Alternate Investment Summit for the Most Sophisticated Capital

Crystal Gazing 2026 is India’s leading Investment Summit and Smart Money Manager Awards, now in its 7th Annual Edition. Scheduled to be held in February 2026 as a Virtual Global Summit, the event is thoughtfully designed for High Net Worth Individuals, Ultra High Net Worth families, family offices, and fund managers.

This is not a prediction forum. Crystal Gazing is a capital allocation and merit‑recognition platform—often described as the "Filmfare of Alternates"—where long‑term capital positioning, disciplined risk management, and earnings‑led wealth creation take centre stage.
