Inc42 AI Summit 2026: AI Adoption & Execution in India

Inc42 has announced its upcoming AI Summit 2026, scheduled for May 28, 2026, at The Sheraton Grand in Bengaluru. The invite-only event aims to bring together over 600 founders, CXOs, and investors to focus on the practical deployment and scaling of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the Indian market.

The summit is positioned to address the unique challenges and opportunities of the Indian AI landscape, moving beyond theoretical discussions to emphasize actionable strategies for AI adoption. With India’s AI market projected to reach $126 billion by 2030, the event seeks to provide insights into how startups and enterprises can effectively implement AI solutions tailored to the specific needs of the Indian market, including considerations for price sensitivity, multilingual users, infrastructure, and distribution complexity.

The agenda will feature deep-dive sessions and operator-led discussions across two stages: the Main Stage, focusing on successful AI scaling from prototype to production, and the Build Stage, delving into engineering for Indian market specifics, vernacular product development, and navigating regulatory and distribution hurdles.

Key themes will include building and scaling agentic AI systems for business ROI, AI’s impact on e-commerce conversion funnels, the new AI-led fintech stack, and investor perspectives on AI deals. The event will host speakers from prominent AI-driven companies such as CoRover.ai, Gnani.ai, Open Financial Technologies, MoEngage, INDmoney, and Zepto.

The Inc42 AI Summit 2026 is co-presented by Skyflow and powered by Intellemo, Avalara, and Vobiz, with support from Peak XV, Rukam Capital, Mobavenue, CloudKeeper, and Rocketlane. The summit is designed for individuals actively involved in building, deploying, or funding AI initiatives in India, emphasizing execution over hype and fostering high-signal networking opportunities.
