Mark your calendars for February 16-20, when New Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam hosts the trailblazing India AI Impact Summit—the very first AI conclave in the Global South. World delegates will attend, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will deliver the opening address, highlighting India’s AI prowess.
AI is pivotal to India’s growth story, bolstering administrative frameworks, optimizing service delivery, and enabling inclusive advancement that mirrors the 2047 prosperity blueprint. The nation’s linguistic diversity and cultural richness make it a prime innovator for AI ecosystems supporting multiple languages and customized models.
This high-profile forum unites global policymakers, industry innovators, and experts to showcase and strategize AI’s power in governance, creativity, and enduring progress. Anchored in key international AI summit outcomes, it prioritizes converting global discourse into concrete achievements through the IndiaAI Mission and Digital India, fostering multilateral synergy and humane AI paradigms.
Through targeted efforts like expansive compute resources, local AI models, and comprehensive training programs, India is nurturing a resilient, equitable AI environment. The summit eyes 2026 expansions to deepen worldwide ties, uphold ethical norms, and fast-track AI in essential sectors, positioning India as a beacon of digital innovation.
In the lead-up, collaborative regional events across eight states including Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, and Odisha from October 2025 to January 2026 have effectively synced national AI goals with regional contexts.
