SFO at Raisina Dialogues 2025

Sekhon Family Office (SFO) at Raisina Dialogues 2025

📍 New Delhi, India | March 17–20, 2025

After four transformative days of strategic dialogue, SFO firmly positioned itself as a bold architect of the global future. Our engagements, led across ministerial roundtables, AI forums, G20/B20 track discussions, and DPI conclaves, delivered a comprehensive roadmap to transition from aid dependency to investment-driven sovereignty.

Here’s what SFO proposed, led, and advocated:

🌍 1. Net-Zero Geopolitics
- We called for a system-wide reset—ending $4T U.S. and $1T Indian market cap losses from geopolitical volatility. We urged global stakeholders to shift from dominance to risk-mitigated, investment-aligned peacebuilding, placing institutional investors at the heart of global stability.

🤝 2. Sovereign Symbiosis
- SFO launched a bold financial doctrine: enabling sovereign, municipal, PSU, cooperative entities to issue sovereign-guaranteed bonds backed by resources, tax revenues, and public assets—listed on Global Depositories, assigned to institutional investors like SFO.

💸 3. Capital Transition to Post-Aid Economies
- We moved the conversation from charity to credit: unlocking resource-based lending through green bonds, blue economy bonds, and circular economy bonds, enabling Global South countries to build infrastructure, resilience, and industry.

🔐 4. DPI as the Infrastructure of Development Finance
- We emphasized that Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) must evolve beyond IDs and payments—to become the sovereign ledger enabling cross-border programmable finance, SWIFT-enabled Euroclear transactions (MT 300/500), CBDCs, and smart collateralization.

🤖 5. DPI-AI Convergence for Development
- We showcased how DPI-AI fusion can power predictive policy, optimized welfare delivery, and equitable digital ecosystems—enabling GDP growth through AI-trained DPI stacks rooted in transparency and privacy.

🛰️ 6. Deep Space Finance & Interstellar Diplomacy
- Via SFO Interstellar, we proposed sovereign securitization of space assets for asteroid mining, orbital AI, and quantum communication. Space must be the next sovereign-backed growth frontier.

🌊 7. Blue Economy Bonds & Maritime Security
- We advanced proposals for blue bond frameworks to secure deep-sea mining, fisheries, and trade corridors, ensuring ocean assets are securitized for regional resilience and prosperity.

🔗 8. Standardization of DPI Models
- We championed DPI convergence globally—much like TCP/IP for the Internet and GSM for telecom. India Stack, Singapore’s TradeStack, and SWIFT’s interbank protocols should unite under a Global DPI Protocol Standard.

🌐 9. Strategic Alignment with Global Institutions
- SFO engaged stakeholders across G20, B20, UN, BRICS, Quad, ASEAN, EU, and more—especially aligning with G20 South Africa 2025 to push debt sustainability and public digital capital infrastructure as core tracks. We also contributed key proposals to the B20-G20 agenda for the South Africa Summit.

🤝 10. DPI Diplomacy with Purpose
- We moved DPI discourse beyond governance, urging it to become the engine of trade, credit, and AI-enabled multilateralism—co-developed with the private sector and philanthropy.

Our Vision: The Capital Code of Peace

SFO believes capital is the new diplomacy, and peace is the highest form of ROI. Through Net-Zero Geopolitics and Sovereign Symbiosis, the world can leap beyond aid and toward self-sustaining prosperity.

We don’t just shape policy—we shape purpose.
