ET AI Awards Is a Game-Changer

The ET AI Conclave and Awards was launched with a clear and deliberate mandate: to recognise artificial intelligence innovations that are delivering meaningful, measurable results across Indian industries, not just promising them. The awards spotlight both startups and established companies that are using AI to solve practical problems and create real impact, at a time when India's AI sector is growing rapidly and the gap between genuine innovation and empty hype has never mattered more.

With more than 250 senior AI leaders and innovators attending and over 10 deep-dive sessions planned, this AI networking event places delegates in the centre of India’s most valuable AI discussions. The agenda is designed around influence and outcomes rather than scale, emphasising peer-level engagement that leads to real strategic alignment among India’s top AI practitioners.

One of the biggest draws of this AI event India is the speaker lineup, featuring some of the most respected names in AI and business strategy. Delegates will hear from leaders like Dr Panneerselvam Madanagopal, CEO of MeitY Startup Hub, offering insights into national AI initiatives; Vishal Dhupar, MD South Asia at NVIDIA, providing perspectives on edge computing and responsible AI; and Rahul Chari, Founder & CTO of PhonePe, sharing real-world engineering perspectives from one of India’s biggest digital platforms.

The list of speakers also includes innovators such as Kirthiga Reddy, CEO & Co-founder of OptimizeGEO.ai & Verix.io, Gaurav Aggarwal, Chief AI Scientist at Reliance Jio, Dilip Jose, MD & CEO of Manipal Hospitals, Baskar Subramanian, Co-founder & CEO of Amagi, Vivek Raghavan, Co-Founder of Sarvam AI, Manish Gupta, Senior Director at Google DeepMind, and Sandeep Alur, CTO at Microsoft Innovation Hub India; ensuring a broad range of perspectives from enterprise AI, product engineering, innovation leadership, and research-driven AI development. Dr. Srinivas Telukunta, Global Director of AI Solutions & Platforms and Peeyush Ranjan, Co-founder and CEO of Fermi.ai; will be sharing their valuable insights.

But the ET AI Conclave & Awards is not just about listening, it’s about connecting. With over 7 hours of structured and informal networking, delegates can engage in personalised conversations with fellow attendees, sponsors, and ecosystem stakeholders. Whether over breakfast, during a break, or at the gala dinner people have the capacity to forge strategic partnerships, unlock investment opportunities, and deepen industry alliances in ways that few other AI forums can match.
