About Us - India Presence Summit

NOT ANOTHER CONFERENCE

Most events give you a schedule, a few good speakers, and a bag of printed material you'll never read. This one was built around a different ambition. The India Presence Summit 2026 starts with a question worth spending a whole day on.

THE QUESTION

"In a world obsessed with AI, what happens to the human?"

Not as a philosophical exercise. As a practical, urgent reality that affects how far you go.

THE ARCHITECT

Sonia Dubey Dewan

Founder, ISIM | India's First & Only AICI Certified Image Master | Global Keynote Speaker

There are fewer than 20 people in the world who hold the Certified Image Master credential. Sonia Dubey Dewan is the first & only Indian among them.

This title is the natural result of over 16 years spent doing one thing with complete conviction — helping people understand that how they show up in the world changes everything.

She founded the Indian School of Image Management, India's first internationally recognized institution for image management and soft skills education. She has trained over 15,000 hours, personally impacted 300,000+ individuals, coached 2,500+ executives, and built a community of 500+ certified image professionals across continents.

Her clients range from global brands to diplomats, defence personnel and Fortune 500 CXOs. National media dubbed her the "Fairy Godmother of Image Transformation." She has represented India at 30+ global forums across the UK, USA, Australia, Singapore and beyond.

A Desh Ratna Award recipient And the President of VISHIPSA NGO where she has provided free image and soft skills education to 100,000+ underprivileged youth across India.

India Presence Summit is her most personal project. Every edition designed by her. Every speaker chosen by her. Nothing accidental. Everything intentional.

"You are your most valuable asset. Start investing in yourself today."

ISIM is India's most respected institute for image management and soft skills education. Founded by Sonia Dubey Dewan in Mumbai, ISIM has trained thousands of professionals across the country and beyond — from corporate executives to entrepreneurs to the next generation of image consultants.

India Presence Summit is ISIM's gift to the wider professional community.

A day where the doors open, the conversation deepens, and everyone leaves a little more human than when they walked in.
