    Mediation remains an outlier for dispute resolution despite over twenty years since a legal framework has been in place for mediation and conciliation in India. India has over twenty-five regulatory frameworks that encourage mediation-driven settlements through a host of policy instruments: both mandating and provisioning the option of mediation, as well as setting up infrastructure to facilitate mediation (court-annexed mediation, facilitation councils for MSMEs, Companies Act, to name a few).

    Time: 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
