India AI Impact Summit 2026 opens in New Delhi: Five days of research, regulation and real-world AI deployment
The India AI Impact Summit 2026 begins February 16 in New Delhi, bringing together global leaders across research, enterprise and public policy under the Government of India’s IndiaAI Mission. Among the many distinguished participants are Dr. Bonnie Kruft, Managing Director, Microsoft Research; Dr. Aisha Walcott-Bryant, Head of Research, Google Africa; David Zapolsky, Chief Global Affairs and Legal Officer, Amazon; C Vijayakumar, CEO & Managing Director, HCLTech; Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman and Co-Founder, Rubrik; and Dr. Sunayana Sitaram, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research. The Economic Times will deliver comprehensive coverage across all five days.
From February 16 to February 20, New Delhi becomes a focal point for one of the most consequential artificial intelligence gatherings on the global calendar. The India AI Impact Summit 2026, convened under the Government of India’s IndiaAI Mission, brings together leaders from research institutions, multinational corporations, regulatory bodies and fast-scaling technology firms at a time when AI systems are moving decisively into mainstream infrastructure.
Unlike narrowly focused technology expos, the India AI Impact Summit is designed as a multi-layered platform. It connects frontier research with enterprise execution, regulatory thinking with product innovation, and global expertise with India’s rapidly evolving digital ecosystem. The structure reflects a broader understanding that artificial intelligence is no longer a siloed discipline, it now intersects with law, governance, connectivity, sustainability and national competitiveness.
The Economic Times will provide comprehensive coverage throughout the five-day summit, tracking keynote moments, policy announcements, ecosystem collaborations and on-ground developments. Readers can expect in-depth reporting on how discussions translate into institutional commitments, research partnerships and deployment roadmaps. Beyond the stage conversations, coverage will extend to technology showcases, cross-border dialogues and industry roundtables shaping practical next steps.
This year’s summit features strong representation from global research and corporate leadership. Among the many distinguished participants are Bonnie Kruft, Managing Director, Microsoft Research; Aisha Walcott-Bryant, Head of Research, Google Africa; David Zapolsky, Chief Global Affairs and Legal Officer, Amazon; C Vijayakumar, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) & Managing Director, HCLTech; Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman and Co-Founder, Rubrik; and Sunayana Sitaram, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research, among many other global and Indian leaders in attendance.
The diversity of this participation signals the summit’s expanding scope. Research institutions bring insights into model development and evaluation; enterprise leaders contribute perspectives on scalability and adoption; and global affairs executives add the regulatory and policy dimension increasingly central to AI’s trajectory. The intersection of these roles highlights how artificial intelligence now operates across technical, legal and economic domains simultaneously.
A distinctive element of the summit is its focus on practical deployment ecosystems. India’s digital public infrastructure, multilingual user base and large-scale service delivery systems offer a real-world environment where AI solutions can be tested and refined at scale. The summit’s agenda reflects this reality, emphasising collaboration between innovators and implementers rather than theoretical discussion alone.
In addition to headline sessions, the event includes research exchanges, innovation demonstrations and structured dialogues on connectivity, infrastructure resilience and responsible governance. These engagements are designed to extend beyond the duration of the summit, fostering longer-term partnerships between global institutions and India’s growing AI community.
For India, hosting the summit underscores its evolving role in global AI conversations. The country’s expanding investment in research talent and policy focus on inclusive growth position it as both a major market and a contributor to the broader AI ecosystem. By convening international stakeholders in New Delhi, the summit reinforces India’s intent to help shape standards and collaborative frameworks rather than simply adapt to them.
As the India AI Impact Summit 2026 unfolds over the next five days, the conversations in New Delhi are likely to resonate far beyond the venue. Through exclusive and continuous coverage, The Economic Times will provide readers with a front-row view of the ideas, partnerships and commitments emerging from one of the year’s most closely watched AI gatherings.
