ET AI Conclave & Awards 2026: The AI room everyone wants to be in
India’s artificial intelligence ecosystem has seen numerous AI events, AI conferences, AI summits, and AI networking forums. But once in a while, an AI leadership summit rises above the noise. The ET AI Conclave & Awards is the defining AI event India has been waiting for, the AI leadership summit in India that industry insiders have quietly marked as unmissable, happening in Bengaluru on 26 February 2026.
The ET AI Conclave & Awards on 26 February 2026 in Bengaluru is set to bring together more than 250 senior AI leaders and innovators and over 40 top speakers for one of the most powerful AI gatherings in the country. This is not just another AI awards India ceremony. The ET AI Conclave & Awards is where enterprise AI strategy, national AI ambition, startup AI innovation, and global AI investment conversations intersect in one high-impact room.
Across boardrooms in Bengaluru, one conversation has dominated leadership circles: Who will be at the ET AI Conclave & Awards? Because this AI leadership summit is not about passive attendance. It is about presence, and that too a strategic presence.
The ET AI Conclave & Awards features over 10 deep-dive sessions and more than 7 hours of structured and organic networking. That means seven hours of potential investor introductions, enterprise AI partnerships, product strategy conversations, regulatory discussions, and AI deployment insights, all within one curated AI event India ecosystem.
And then there is the speaker lineup, arguably the strongest reason why the ET AI Conclave & Awards has created such extraordinary anticipation.
From public policy to enterprise AI transformation, the lineup reflects the full stack of India’s artificial intelligence ambition. Industry leaders will hear from Dr. Panneerselvam Madanagopal, CEO of MeitY Startup Hub, sharing insights into national AI ecosystem acceleration and India’s digital innovation roadmap. When government-backed AI strategy meets enterprise ambition, the conversation shifts from theory to execution, and that shift is happening at the ET AI Conclave & Awards.
Technology and fintech innovation take center stage with Rahul Chari, Founder & CTO of PhonePe, who brings first-hand insight into how AI engineering powers large-scale digital platforms serving millions. For AI founders and product leaders attending the ET AI Conclave & Awards, this isn’t inspiration, it’s blueprint-level thinking.
The enterprise AI narrative deepens further with leaders such as Gaurav Aggarwal of Reliance Jio, Dilip Jose of Manipal Hospitals, and Baskar Subramanian of Amagi, voices representing telecom AI, healthcare AI, and media-tech AI transformation. This cross-sector presence reinforces why the ET AI Conclave & Awards is widely regarded as India’s most comprehensive AI leadership summit.
Innovation founders and AI product builders will find immense value in perspectives from Kirthiga Reddy, Vivek Raghavan, and Peeyush Ranjan, leaders building AI-first companies designed for scale. Add to that voices like Sandeep Alur and Dr. Srinivas Telukunta, and the ET AI Conclave & Awards becomes a multi-layered AI intelligence exchange spanning infrastructure, research, deployment, and monetisation.
But what truly amplifies the FOMO around the ET AI Conclave & Awards is not just the sessions. It is the room.
An AI event in India of this scale, curated by The Economic Times, attracts CXOs, AI investors, policymakers, founders, product architects, and innovation heads who rarely converge in one focused setting. When 250+ AI decision-makers gather in Bengaluru for the ET AI Conclave & Awards, the result is not just dialogue, it is direction.
This AI leadership summit India is where future collaborations quietly begin over coffee. It is where AI funding conversations start between panels. It is where enterprise AI pilots are conceptualised during networking breaks. It is where sponsors and ecosystem partners actively shape conversations through technology showcases and curated engagements.
The Associate Partner, NBFC Partner supports enterprise-level AI conversations and enables deeper industry engagement. The AI Data Cloud Partner, Snowflake, brings the backbone of scalable AI infrastructure, ensuring that discussions around data intelligence and cloud-native AI innovation remain grounded in real-world execution. The Evaluation Partner, Ernst & Young, upholds the integrity and credibility of the awards process through rigorous assessment frameworks and transparent judging methodologies.
Supporting broader collaboration, the Ecosystem Partner, T- Hub, connects startups, enterprises, and innovators, reinforcing cross-sector AI adoption. The event is proudly Driven by BYD, whose leadership vision accelerates the summit’s impact and outreach. Adding vibrancy to the evening, the Celebration Partner, Indri, enhances the experience, making the recognition of AI excellence truly memorable. The Technology Partner, Zoho, powers the digital and experiential infrastructure of the conclave, enabling seamless engagement across sessions and showcases.
Complementing the experience are the Gifting Partners Vahdam, Vaaree, Natch, and Andamen, whose contributions add a thoughtful and premium touch to the delegate and winner journey. Together, these partners transform the ET AI Conclave & Awards into more than an event, they co-create an ecosystem platform driving India’s AI innovation story forward.
For many in the AI ecosystem, the ET AI Conclave & Awards represents more than recognition. It represents positioning. Being associated with this AI awards India platform signals credibility, influence, and alignment with India’s AI growth story.
As the industry counts down to 26 February 2026, one sentiment is increasingly clear: the ET AI Conclave & Awards is not just another AI event in India. It is the AI leadership summit India that defines who is building, who is scaling, and who is shaping artificial intelligence in the country.
In fast-moving industries, opportunities are measured in moments. The ET AI Conclave & Awards is one such moment, a convergence of enterprise AI ambition, startup innovation, policy direction, and investor confidence under one roof in Bengaluru.
When India looks back at pivotal AI milestones of 2026, the ET AI Conclave & Awards is likely to be remembered as the night the ecosystem aligned. And in leadership circles, alignment is everything.
