The Wharton India Economic Forum (WIEF), established in 1996 at the Wharton School, is the leading student run business forum in the U.S. which is focused on India. WIEF's mission is to focus attention on the enormous potential for the enhancement of economic and business relations between India and other countries of the world. WIEF's annual conference is not only a vehicle for raising the profile of the subcontinent, but also offers a unique opportunity for participants to raise their profiles with key decision makers, establish critical business contacts, and recruit the best talent from the leading business schools.

Through its forum, which includes conferences and speaker engagements, WIEF seeks to stimulate an energetic dialogue between current and future business leaders. In recent years, 400 attendees have gathered to exchange ideas with prominent business figures, policy makers, other professionals, and students from several graduate and undergraduate institutions. Speakers from the past six conferences have included P. Chidambaram, former Finance Minister of India; Rajat Gupta, Managing Partner, McKinsey & Company; Victor Menezes, Vice-Chairman, Citigroup; Anil Ambani, Vice-Chairman and MD, Reliance Industries; N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman, Infosys; and H.E. Lalit Mansingh, Indian Ambassador to the US. The conference has also enjoyed widespread press coverage by leading publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Times of India.
