From February 16 to 20, 2026, New Delhi will host the India AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam.
This is not just another technology conference. It represents a clear shift in how India is viewed in the global AI conversation.
Over five days, the summit will bring together leaders from more than 30 countries, including heads of government, senior policymakers, the UN Secretary-General, and global technology CEOs such as Sam Altman and Sundar Pichai. More than 300 exhibitors will showcase practical AI solutions already transforming industries.
For decades, India powered the world’s IT services and back-office operations. Today, it is stepping into a different role.
India is actively shaping how artificial intelligence is built, governed, and deployed at scale.
Several factors have quietly positioned the country for this shift:
Strong digital public infrastructure
The national IndiaAI Mission
A rapidly expanding AI startup ecosystem
Deep engineering talent
Widespread AI adoption across sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and governance
The India AI Impact Summit 2026 signals that India is no longer just implementing technology developed elsewhere. It is helping define global AI standards, frameworks, and responsible innovation practices.
For B2B leaders and C-suite executives, this moment is strategic.
India’s AI momentum is not only about innovation. It is about influence, policy alignment, cross-border collaboration, and enterprise-scale implementation.
The conversations in New Delhi will shape how governments regulate AI, how enterprises deploy it responsibly, and how emerging markets participate in the AI economy.
This feels like a turning point.
India is moving from being the world’s IT engine to becoming a serious voice in global AI governance and enterprise transformation.
For global leaders watching the AI landscape, the India AI Impact Summit 2026 is more than an event. It is a signal.
And signals matter.
