About the Summit — What is GAVS?
The Global Accelerator Vision Summit (GAVS) is a landmark three-day gathering convened to promote entrepreneurship, leadership, and inclusive growth across generations. An initiative of the Karnataka Arya Vysya Mahasabha (KAVMS), the summit unites distinguished leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, professionals, students, and youth from across India and around the world.
Held at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) from 25 to 27 December 2026, GAVS is designed to transcend boundaries — bringing established enterprise together with emerging ambition, capital together with ideas, and heritage together with innovation. It is not merely a conference; it is the launch of a lasting ecosystem of mentorship, collaboration, and opportunity.
Our Vision
“To inspire unity and build a cohesive community.”
Our mission
“To build a comprehensive global network — rooted in unity, radiating with glory, respect, and empathy — by weaving together united hearts and minds to develop harmony, individual empowerment, and collective progress by uplifting the community.”
About KAVMS The Initiator
Karnataka Arya Vysya Mahasabha
The Karnataka Arya Vysya Mahasabha (KAVMS) is one of the foremost community organisations dedicated to the upliftment, education, and economic empowerment of the Arya Vysya community. For decades, KAVMS has championed initiatives spanning education, cooperative finance, student welfare, and social development — from hostels and scholarships for students to professional congregations for lawyers, doctors, and chartered accountants.
The Global Accelerator Vision Summit is the natural evolution of that mission: a platform to translate community strength into entrepreneurial leadership on a global stage.
