Think20 (T20) is an official Engagement Group of the G20 (Group of Twenty intergovernmental forum). The T20 Inception Conference 12-13 January 2023, New Delhi, will be the first of the key T20 Convenings under India’s G20 Presidency and will lay the groundwork for what Think20 India aims to achieve during the year.1
