Pre-Event Panel Discussions

On the road to WTC Mumbai. Ahead of the Bharat AI Innovation Conference & Exhibition in November, we are taking the conversation onto campuses across India — free, open panel discussions where students, faculty and industry practitioners work through what AI is actually doing to their fields.

Free to attend 90 minutes Hosted on campus Leading to Nov 20–21, 2026 · WTC Mumbai

Watch the panels, read the reports

Both sessions were recorded, and each has become a free insights report: the key findings, the panellists’ examples and an agenda for action for students, educators, employers and policymakers.

What a Campus Panel Looks Like

One repeatable 90-minute format, adapted to the host institution's disciplines.

A real panel

Three to five practitioners from industry, academia and policy — not a product pitch, and not a single-speaker lecture.

Open floor

A meaningful share of the time goes to student questions. The unscripted part is usually the part people remember.

Practical takeaways

Concrete guidance on skills, portfolios and career paths, grounded in what employers are actually hiring for right now.

A route to November

Attendees carry the thread into the main conference at WTC Mumbai, where each theme is explored across two full days.

For Institutions
