India’s AI Power Circle Meets Here

India’s artificial intelligence moment is no longer theoretical; it is unfolding in real time, across boardrooms, startups, policy corridors, and enterprise war rooms. The decisions being made today around AI adoption, governance, and scale will determine which organizations lead the next decade and which fall behind. At the center of this pivotal moment stands the ET AI Awards 2025, an event designed not just to observe India’s AI transformation but to actively shape it.

Scheduled for 26th February 2026 in Bengaluru, the ET AI Awards 2025, presented by India’s largest business news platform, The Economic Times, will bring together the most influential voices from India’s AI ecosystem for a full day of insight, recognition, and high-value networking. This is not a mass conference or a passive listening experience. It is a carefully curated gathering of CXOs, founders, policymakers, investors, and technology leaders who are directly responsible for building, deploying, and governing AI at scale.

What makes this event stand apart is its intentional exclusivity. With over 250 senior AI leaders and innovators in attendance, the focus is on depth over volume. Every session, panel, and interaction is structured to encourage meaningful dialogue rather than surface-level conversations. For leaders navigating real AI challenges, whether it’s enterprise transformation, responsible AI, product innovation, or investment strategy, this forum offers clarity that simply cannot be gained through reports or webinars.


The ET AI Awards 2025 goes beyond celebrating excellence; it creates an environment where decisions are influenced and partnerships are formed. Attendees will engage in more than 10 deep-dive sessions covering India’s AI trajectory, sector-specific adoption, generative AI, and the evolving regulatory and investment landscape. These discussions are led by individuals who are not predicting the future, but they are actively building it.

Among the distinguished speakers are Ankush Sabharwal, founder and CEO of corover.ai, sharing insights on scaling AI products for real-world impact; Dilip Jose, MD and CEO of Manipal Hospitals, offering perspectives on AI in healthcare; and Gaurav Aggarwal, chief AI scientist at Reliance Jio, discussing innovation at population scale. Enterprise transformation will be decoded by Hari Balaji, Partner at EY India, while Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson of Biocon, and Kirthiga Reddy, CEO and Co-founder of OptimizeGEO.ai & Verix.io, will examine AI’s broader role in industry and society.

The speaker lineup also includes Nirmit Parikh, Paras Chopra, Sravanth Aluru, Vishal Dhupar, and Vivek Raghavan, alongside other marquee leaders, ensuring diverse and authoritative perspectives across technology, business, and innovation.

Yet, the true power of the ETAI Awards lies between the sessions. With over seven hours of structured and informal networking, including curated breaks, lunches, and exclusive dinner interactions, the event creates rare access to peers and decision-makers who are otherwise difficult to reach. This is where collaborations are sparked, investments are discussed, and long-term professional relationships begin.

Backed by India’s most trusted business media platform, the ET AI Awards 2025 offers not just learning but visibility, credibility, and influence. For leaders serious about being part of India’s AI power circle, waiting is not an option. Seats are limited, conversations are exclusive, and the impact is lasting.
