India’s B2B platform for AI. The organisations already running AI in production, the companies providing it, and the policymakers shaping it. Two days at WTC Mumbai.
Show what you can do for Bharat with AI.
Everything here is built to end in an outcome rather than a business card — meetings matched before you arrive, a stage and a floor to prove the work on, and private rooms to close in.
CIOs, CDOs, CTOs and procurement heads from banking, insurance, pharma, manufacturing and state departments. Evaluate live solutions across 8 industry zones, shortlist vendors through AI matchmaking, and take the conversation into a private boardroom.
AI product companies, service firms and funded startups. Exhibit to visitors who registered to evaluate AI, take the Innovation Stage with your booth, pitch to investors, and have buyer meetings booked before you arrive.
MeitY, Maharashtra’s MITRA and MSInS, ministers and secretaries on stage. Hear the IndiaAI Mission, state AI procurement and public–private models from the people writing them — and meet them on the floor.
Six mechanisms, each built to turn a two-day event into pipeline.
Sponsor-curated panels where CXOs, founders and policymakers debate a theme you set — with your own clients and prospects invited into the room. Sponsor a panel →
Eight minutes on the main stage in front of buyers and investors, bundled with your booth in select packages — the demo and the follow-up meeting in one place. See booth packages →
Four boardrooms inside WTC Mumbai, bookable by the hour and steps from the floor — for closed-door demos, negotiations and investor conversations. Book a room →
Every pass can browse the attendee directory. Delegate, VIP and Academic passes unlock networking — AI matchmaking, connection requests and 1:1 meeting booking — so you arrive with a schedule, not a hope. How it works →
A CXO cocktail evening for senior leaders and ministers — the room where day-two meetings get set up, and an evening a sponsor can host. See the programme →
AI startups pitch to VCs, angels and corporate venture arms in front of the enterprise audience that could become their first customers. Apply to pitch →
Artificial Intelligence represents a transformation of the same magnitude as historic turning points in human civilization.
This conference is built on PM Modi's conviction that AI must strengthen innovation, empower citizens, and drive inclusive growth across every sector of the Indian economy.
"Within three years, Maharashtra will be a world leader in the data center space, powered increasingly by green energy."
AI in farming must not remain confined to demonstrations or pilots. It must reach millions.
