Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday attended the closing ceremony of the 'Progressive Punjab Investors' Summit 2026', held from March 13 to 15 at Plaksha University in Mohali.

The event offered investors far more than discussions on industry and business.

In a post on X, CM Mann expressed gratitude to all the investors for participating in the Summit.

"Today, I participated in the grand closing ceremony of the 'Progressive Punjab Investors' Summit 2026' in Mohali. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the industrialists and investors who came from across the country and abroad," he said.

According to the Punjab government, delegates from across India and abroad experienced the Punjab's hospitality, its vibrant cultural traditions, and the rich flavours of Punjabi cuisine, turning the summit into an immersive showcase of the state's spirit alongside its economic opportunities.

A special cultural evening organised at the Mohali Golf Range became one of the highlights of the summit. Renowned Punjabi singers Ranjit Bawa and Harjit Harman captivated the audience, transforming the evening into a celebration of Punjab's music and traditions.

Ranjit Bawa electrified the gathering with popular tracks including "Heavyweight Bhangra," "Family Di Member," "Sher," "Mukabla," and "Chhote-Chhote Gharan," drawing investors and delegates to the dance floor and filling the venue with energy and enthusiasm.

Harjit Harman began his performance with devotional songs before moving to some of his widely loved numbers such as "Jithon Marzi Wangan Chadhwa Layeein...," "Mitran Da Naa Chalda...," "Punjab Guru'an Di Kripa Naal Vassda...," and "24 Carat Gold...," evoking the deep cultural and spiritual roots of Punjab.

The evening also featured a vibrant presentation of traditional Punjabi folk dance, with the Jugni Cultural Group performing Luddi and Bhangra. Their energetic performance received thunderous applause from the audience, offering visiting delegates a glimpse into Punjab's living folk traditions.

Welcoming the investors and delegates, Punjab's Industries and Commerce Minister Sanjeev Arora said that the Punjab Government, led by CM Bhagwant Singh Mann, had ensured that the summit highlighted not only the state's investment potential but also its glorious heritage and cultural richness.

"Through this summit, we have showcased both the immense opportunities for economic growth in Punjab and the vibrant culture that defines our state. We want every investor to feel the warmth of Punjab and leave with a lasting impression of its people, traditions and possibilities," said Sanjeev Arora.

Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khuddian was also present at the event. Delegates from across the country and abroad appreciated the hospitality extended by the Punjab Government, praising the well-organised arrangements, cultural programmes and authentic Punjabi cuisine that made the summit a memorable experience for all.

Summits are good for headlines, but what about ground reality? We need to see actual factories being set up and a reduction in youth migration. The proof will be in the execution, not just cultural evenings. I hope this isn't just another *tamasha*.

Good initiative. However, Punjab must also focus on improving ease of doing business rankings and providing stable power and water to industries. Investors look at these fundamentals more than one-off events. The real work starts now.
