About

India is not catching up in Artificial Intelligence — it is leaping ahead. As the global AI landscape evolves, the world is increasingly looking to India not just for scale, but for leadership and direction. The NDTV Ind.AI Summit brings together policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and thinkers to shape an AI future that is rooted in human values and ethical responsibility.

Built on two core pillars — India's Human-Centric AI Agenda for the World and Safe, Responsible & Impact-Driven AI — the summit champions a people-first approach. It envisions AI as a force that elevates humanity, drives inclusive growth, and safeguards societal well-being while accelerating innovation.
