About the program
Model G20 is an immersive simulation of the G20 Leaders’ Summit, where participants step into the shoes of world leaders to negotiate global economic cooperation. Hosted on the FLAME University campus in Pune and organised by One Young India, it is a premier platform for students who want to move beyond debate and into the realm of formal policy advocacy — producing academic white papers and high-level presentations. Unlike traditional simulations, it emphasises the academic rigour of global governance, bridging the gap between student discourse and professional policy-making.

What the journey looks like.
Before the summit
Delegates get a research pack and track brief, choose their country and committee, and write a position paper — arriving prepared, not cold.
On campus
Three days of debate, negotiation and drafting at FLAME University — moving from opening statements to a signed communiqué.
After the summit
Standout white papers are published through One Young India, top delegates are recognised for their work, and every delegate leaves with a certificate and a network.
