From AI-powered robots to locally built chatbots, the summit floor reflects India’s growing ambition to shape its own AI future.

Among the highlights of this Summit, is a new generation of sovereign AI models like Bharat GPT. 
It is designed for local languages and voice-first access, aiming to make technology more accessible across India, including in rural areas.

"We do not want be depend on other LLM’s for creating the virtual systems. So we thought of let’s create our own. We have the manpower to build it, and we built it.  3:06 This summit offers us a wide range of customers and wide range of audience to whom we can showcase what we have built."

00:48-01:11
The scale of the event is significant - with more than 40 top tech executives, around 20 world leaders and thousands of AI researchers attending
For India, it is both a technology showcase and a diplomatic moment.
Officials here say their goal is to democratise artificial intelligence, making it accessible, affordable and relevant for developing nations.

"India is a natural leader of the Global South. We are the largest country in terms of population. The range of things that we are working on here, which will make AI truly meaningful for people.  The idea is to have impact, the idea is to privatize and make sure that public impact  is created on a huge scale through the use of AI."

01:39-01:45
For India, this summit is about gaining ground in the AI race and putting the country in the global spotlight.

"India is presenting something new. An approach that it calls the ‘third way’ in artificial intelligence. This framework differs from China’s state-driven model and the corporate-led approach in the United States. Here, the focus is on using technology for public good. Officials say AI should improve everyday lives."

02:03-02:34
Experts say that India’s approach and its scale gives it an edge. 
With a vast digital population and rapidly growing data ecosystems, India sees itself as a testing ground for real-world AI applications - from language tools to public services. 
Government says, AI can transform sectors like farming, education and healthcare.
But alongside the optimism, there are debates about the future of work and whether automation could disrupt traditional job markets.

02:35-02:50
+++Dr. Prasad Ramanathan, IIT Bombay Professor+++
"The biggest impact is going to be at the routine type of activities, which can now be automated and therefore their jobs will become a lot better, and they will get elevated to the next higher level. Nobody is going to lose jobs. The jobs are going to get recreated." 

02:51-03:09
The path to leading the Global South in AI may not be straightforward. India still faces challenges from semiconductor dependence to gaps in data-centre infrastructure.
While the promises are ambitious, it remains to be seen whether the vision outlined at the summit can translate into real-world impact.
