The India AI Impact Summit 2026 gathers over 20 heads of state, 45 ministerial delegations, and 250,000 attendees to discuss AI governance, innovation, and inclusive growth.

  • Starting today , Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the five-day AI Impact Summit at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, hosting 20 national leaders and 45 ministerial-level delegations and expecting 250,000 visitors.
  • India is hosting the summit to declare a shared roadmap for AI governance and to frame discussions around 'people, progress, planet,' as the first global AI summit in the Global South.
  • Tech CEOs including Sam Altman, Sundar Pichai, and Brad Smith will attend, while Nvidia's Jensen Huang canceled; domestic models may debut at the AI Impact Expo.
  • Organisers and analysts say some state investment and partnership announcements may occur, but reskilling programmes will be central to mitigating job disruption for workers and students affected by AI-driven job change.
