The most profound breakthroughs are not found in rehearsed keynote speeches but in candid exchanges of ideas between creators.

With this belief, we are bringing Founders’ Adda, an exclusive closed-door session hosted at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, focused on applied AI and real-world deployment.

Rather than broad panels, the session brings together founders and ecosystem stakeholders to exchange practical insights on product, scale, talent, and the realities of building production-grade AI systems.

No polished narratives.
Just real operating experience, shared openly among builders.
