The day,
session by session.

To Be Announced

Most growing businesses still run on Excel sheets, WhatsApp groups and paper registers, because proper software has always meant hiring developers, big budgets and months of waiting. Not anymore. “Vibe coding”, building software just by describing it to AI, is the hottest idea in tech. Vibe Composition takes it a step further for business: you describe the app you need in plain language, or upload a document or a sketch, and AI assembles it from ready-made, tested building blocks, with forms, workflows and data all included. In this live session, Anchit Shrivastava, AI Lead at Joget, shows how its AI-powered low-code platform lets any business owner turn an idea, such as an order tracker, stock register or approval system, into a working app in minutes. No coding, no IT team, and no developer bills.

Your next customer won’t find you on Google. They’ll ask ChatGPT, and if AI doesn’t recommend you, you don’t exist. At the same time, the apps your business runs on are quietly moving inside AI assistants. Soon, you won’t open your HR, sales or marketing software at all. You’ll just ask Claude or ChatGPT, and it will do the work for you. In this live session, Adit Jindal, Founder & CEO of Callidora Technology, reveals the two biggest shifts reshaping business: GEO, how AI decides which brands to recommend, and MCP, the technology that lets AI assistants plug straight into your business apps. Watch real examples unfold live on screen, and walk away knowing exactly what to do so your business gets found by AI, and runs on it, before your competitors do.

Everyone is talking about AI agents, but most businesses still ask the same question: where do they actually work? In this session, Amritansh Saraf of Microsoft cuts through the hype with a practical map of where AI agents are already delivering real results inside companies today, from customer support and sales to finance, HR and operations. Through real-life examples, he shows what agents can genuinely do, where they still fall short, and how to pick the right first use case. Founders will leave knowing what is worth building, and business leaders will know exactly where to bring AI into their own companies.

AI is everywhere: in headlines, in sales pitches, in every boardroom conversation. But behind the buzz, what is it really delivering for Indian businesses? This panel cuts through the noise with business leaders who have actually put AI to work, from manufacturing and logistics to data and technology. They’ll share where AI has genuinely saved money, time and effort, where it fell short of the promise, and how they told the difference. What did it take to move beyond small experiments? How did they bring their teams along? And what would they never trust AI with? No jargon and no sales pitches, just honest stories from people running real businesses. Whether you’re a founder, a CEO or simply curious, you’ll leave knowing what’s worth investing in, what to avoid, and where to start.

In business, as in real estate, location is everything. Every mall, office tower, hospital, campus and busy street sees thousands of people pass by every day. But a traditional billboard shows the same message to everyone, all day long, with no way of knowing if it worked. In this session, Sanya Jindal and Virkaran Singh, Director of It’s Spotlight, show how AI-powered digital screens are changing that. They update content in real time, show the right message to the right audience at the right moment, track results live and let people respond instantly through QR codes. Drawing on real examples like CP.67 Mall in Mohali, they reveal how businesses can turn every screen into a sales opportunity, and how property owners can turn their high-footfall spaces into a new source of income.

What does a small spice business have in common with real-time risk management at a global bank? More than you’d think. Both involve many people, many moving parts and decisions that need to be tracked and trusted. Drawing on his experience building real-time credit risk systems on Wall Street, John Wesley offers a practical, non-technical guide for entrepreneurs and business leaders on what AI can and cannot do today. He shows how to turn complex, multi-party workflows into simple, auditable systems, using a team of AI “helpers” guided by one AI “manager”, and how to turn your own business knowledge into an AI advantage. You’ll leave understanding both the power and the limits of AI, and how to use it to grow your business and solve bigger problems.

Every era has its gold rush. This one runs on AI. Fortunes are being made in months. Portfolios are being managed by algorithms. Property is being planned with data. And new legal battles over data, ideas and liability are only just beginning. For founders, investors and business owners, the opportunity has never been bigger, and neither have the stakes. This panel brings together a wealth management founder, a real estate developer who invests in AI ventures, the President of TiE Chandigarh, a leading technology lawyer and an IP and innovation expert. Together, they reveal where the next wave of wealth is coming from, how AI is changing the way money and property are managed, and the legal moves you must make to protect your ideas, your data and your business. Stake your claim. Then keep it.

AI can now explain any concept, answer any question and adapt to every learner, around the clock. So do we still need teachers, mentors and classrooms? In this session, Pamit Anand, CEO of upGrad X, explores how learning is being reinvented, where AI tutors genuinely help and where human mentors make all the difference. Drawing on upGrad X’s experience running learning centres that combine technology with in-person guidance, he shows what the most effective learning looks like today, and why the future belongs to learners who combine the speed of AI with the wisdom of real mentors.

Every student now carries an AI that can write their essays and solve their assignments in seconds. Universities can either fight it or transform around it. In this session, Prof. Nishtha Shukla Anand of Shoolini University explores how higher education must rethink teaching, exams and degrees for the AI era, moving from memorising answers to asking better questions, judging AI output and solving real problems. She shares how universities can build graduates who use AI as a powerful tool without losing the ability to think for themselves.

Will AI take my job? It is the question on everyone’s mind, from students to senior professionals. In this session, Bibin Babu, Founder & CEO of GrowQR, tackles that fear head-on. He explains which jobs are really changing, why India’s talent challenge is about proof of skill rather than lack of talent, and how everyone can prepare for a workplace where AI is a colleague, not a competitor. Practical, honest and hopeful, this talk shows how to turn the AI shift into real opportunity, whatever your background.

A student today can ask AI to write an essay, solve a maths problem or explain any topic in seconds. Work that once took hours now takes a minute. So what should schools, colleges and universities really be teaching, and what must young people learn that AI can’t do for them, to be truly job-ready? This panel brings together school leaders, a university, a skilling academy and an employer to tackle the question every parent and teacher is asking. Should institutions ban AI or teach with it? Which subjects and abilities matter more now, and which matter less? What habits should students build early so that AI makes them sharper, not lazier? Honest, practical and close to home, this is a conversation every student, parent and educator needs to hear.

No country has ever had to serve 1.4 billion people the way India does. Every day, millions wait in hospital queues, chase paperwork and hear “come back tomorrow”. AI is starting to change that. In this talk, Vikram Malhotra, Director – AI Technology Strategist at Microsoft, shows where AI is already working in India’s hospitals and government offices: faster diagnosis, smarter public services, and systems that reach citizens in their own language. He also covers what still holds it back, from data and infrastructure to trust. And he shares what it will take for states like Punjab to go from pilot projects to population scale. Practical, real-world and forward-looking: this is AI at the scale only India can attempt.

Patients now walk into clinics having already asked ChatGPT about their symptoms. AI is reading scans, assisting in surgery and predicting disease before it strikes. But when an algorithm and a doctor disagree, who do you believe? And when AI gets it wrong, who is responsible? This panel brings together everyone in the chain, from the engineer who builds healthcare AI and the researcher who studies it, to the surgeon who uses it, the hospital leader who invests in it and the public health expert who sees its impact on millions. Where is AI already saving lives? Where is it overhyped, or even dangerous? Will it make care better, or less human? Frank, surprising and deeply personal, this is a conversation for anyone who has ever been a patient, which is all of us.
