Glimpse into the future of dispute resolution

Indian Mediation Week (IMW) is now in its sixth edition. Although India has over 4.5 crore cases pending (as of May 2022), litigation is still greatly preferred to mediation. The problem is that the awareness of mediation is abysmally low. There exists an urgent need to promote mediation as an appropriate method of dispute resolution in India and it is in this context that IMW was born. The sole objective of IMW has been to grow greater awareness around mediation and ADR/ODR practices.

Sama is an Online Dispute Resolution Institution that has worked with over 42 enterprises, 7 states and resolved over 200,000 disputes online. By organizing IMW, Sama aims to bring mediation to the fore and raise awareness about online mediation while also recognizing the efforts of those who use mediation, ADR & ODR to resolve real cases for real people.

We love all things mediation and ODR, so you can be sure you're in good hands. Plus, we're passionate about making sure your IMW experience is the best it can be. Whether you're looking to learn from the best and brightest in the industry, find out about career opportunities in ODR or just network with like-minded individuals, IMW is the perfect place for you. Register today and we'll see you soon!
