The 4th Global AI Summit in India on March 25 is expected to bring together top 100 startup founders, policy makers, investors and technocrats to explore how AI is rapidly transforming industries and redefining the future of business.
According to information shared by Indiaspora, the high-level Global AI Summit will offer an exploration of the current ways AI is reshaping industries, along with deep dives into the breakthrough innovations expected to drive the next wave of economic and technological transformation.
MR Rangaswami, Founder and Chairman of Indiaspora said, “We have convened highly successful Global Diaspora AI Summits in Silicon Valley and Dubai, and this year we chose Bengaluru to bring the conversation to India. By convening diaspora leaders alongside global experts and Indian innovators, we are creating a powerful exchange of ideas that reflects India’s central role in shaping AI.”
The discussion would focus on how Global Capability Centers (GCC) are adopting AI at scale, building advanced capability centers and establishing global centers of excellence and how Indian corporates are using AI in their businesses, the NGO said.
“As AI moves from experimentation to real-world deployment, forums like the Indiaspora Global AI Summit create important spaces to exchange perspectives, learn from each other and build relationships that strengthen the broader innovation ecosystem,” said Vani Kola, Managing Director of Kalaari Capital.
