The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has appointed Neerja Birla as Vision Chair of its India Wellbeing Initiative. CII says the initiative aims to make workplace wellbeing a core business strategy rather than a standalone programme, bringing together business leaders, policymakers, and experts across industries. The appointment sets the stage for the CII India Well-being Summit 2026, described by CII as a first-of-its-kind national platform. The summit plans to convene chief human resource officers, healthcare professionals, psychologists, and researchers to discuss embedding wellbeing into leadership and governance.
