IBCN — International Business Convention of Nagarathars
Home / IBCN
The modern evolution
IBCN was created to unite global diaspora entrepreneurs, professionals and youth — to foster digital innovation, mentorship and modern business growth.
Held in a different city each edition, IBCN brings the community together across continents: a place to share knowledge, spark partnerships and pass wisdom to the next generation of founders.
A heritage of trade & giving
The Nagarathar community originated in Tamil Nadu and built extensive trade, banking and commerce networks across South and Southeast Asia during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Historically known for trading wisdom, the community has a strong tradition of building schools, temples and hospitals to support social welfare.
