Inc42’s AI Summit is set to take place today at Bengaluru’s Sheraton Grand, bringing together over 600 founders, CXOs, investors, and builders from India’s AI ecosystem, according to inc42.com. The event focuses on practical AI deployment and monetisation in India, moving beyond hype to real-world applications.
The third edition of the summit, powered by IDFC Bank, will feature discussions on AI-led development, enterprise adoption, AI-powered ecommerce, agentic systems, creator distribution, and defensible AI businesses. Speakers from companies such as IDFC First Bank, PhonePe, Razorpay, InMobi, Zepto, Rapido, CoRover.ai, and ElevenLabs will share insights. Leading venture capital firms including Bessemer Venture Partners, Rukam Capital, and Arkam Ventures will also participate, revealing their approaches to due diligence and the limitations of standard metrics.
This event highlights India’s growing role as a serious AI implementation market, despite frontier model research being concentrated elsewhere. The focus on operational questions like productivity improvement, ROI drivers, and scalability challenges underscores the sector’s maturation. The summit’s emphasis on companies shipping and monetising AI solutions reflects a shift in the Indian AI landscape towards tangible business impact.
Beyond the main sessions, the summit will feature a Build Stage, offering additional opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing. Attendees and observers will look for announcements on new AI products, partnerships, and investment trends emerging from the event, which aims to shape the next wave of digital value creation in India.
