At the prestigious AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has launched an impressive pavilion that puts India’s AI capabilities front and center. Held from February 16 to 20, the event attracts top minds from the global AI fraternity, and MIB’s exhibit redefines India’s role—from technology adopter to pioneer of indigenous, expandable AI tailored for societal needs.
Crafted as a nexus for media and conversation, the pavilion houses the Waves Creators Corner, inviting policymakers, entrepreneurs, content creators, and business leaders to deliberate on AI advancements within India. The focus remains on showcasing startups excelling in diverse domains including health services, media production, governance systems, and initiatives driving social change.
Official statements highlight how selected dialogues and founder-moderated sessions aim to elevate Indian AI firms crafting products for local and global audiences. ‘Our objective is to make Indian AI innovations seen, comprehended, and valued worldwide,’ noted an official. By facilitating unmediated exchanges among startups, regulators, funders, and overseas representatives, the pavilion builds bridges for collaboration.
Key attractions include a lineup of panel debates, casual idea exchanges, and live startup demos at the Creators Corner. Ultimately, the pavilion’s broader mission is to integrate Indian companies into international AI dialogues while honoring local relevance, paving the way for synergies with global investors and governments.
This bold presentation signals India’s rising stature in AI, fostering an environment where homegrown tech can compete on the world stage and drive inclusive growth.
