Unveiling The GenAI Summit 2025 Agenda: What’s Brewing In India’s AI Space

Bringing together 350+ exclusive invite-only attendees – founders, policymakers, business leaders, and investors – the summit will decode the transformative potential of GenAI in India’s startup economy.

GenAI Summit 2025

GenAI Summit 2025 is India’s premier AI-focused conference, bringing together the most influential AI leaders, startup founders, investors, and enterprise decision-makers to debate, discuss, and showcase the future of AI-driven businesses.

Inc42 will host a series of interactive sessions, including keynotes, fireside chats, and panel discussions featuring leaders such as CoRover founder & CEO Ankush Sabharwal, Observe.AI CTO and co-founder Jithendra Vepa, Simpl CEO Nitya Sharma, MakeMyTrip’s Sanjay Mohan, and many more.

In 2022, Nando de Freitas, a researcher at Google DeepMind, declared on X, “It’s all about scale now! The game is over!” But was it? Fast forward to 2025, the AI landscape has shifted dramatically. Almost three years after OpenAI’s ChatGPT brought in the Generative AI (GenAI) frenzy in 2022, a new young and ambitious company, DeepSeek, has now defied expectations by launching an open, smaller, and more efficient model at a significantly low cost that outperforms the heavily funded giants like OpenAI and Google Gemini. This is the essence of GenAI: constant reinvention and relentless innovation. What was groundbreaking yesterday is obsolete today.

But what’s happening in India, particularly? After much back and forth, the country has realized that the strategy of letting the West develop the base while India makes solutions on top of them won’t work any longer. Now, the government is investing in acquiring world-class GPUs, inviting bids for India’s Sovereign AI models, and prioritizing a stronger AI policy. Meanwhile, the private sector is witnessing an increasing number of VC investments in vertical GenAI solutions, as the buzz is steadily shifting from chatbots to AI agents. Different perspectives, but that’s the spirit of GenAI—nobody is right or wrong in their approach.

The GenAI Summit 2025

To capture this fast-evolving spirit and spark meaningful conversations, Inc42 is proud to present the second edition of The GenAI Summit 2025, taking place on April 9 in Bengaluru. Bringing together 350+ exclusive invite-only attendees – founders, policymakers, business leaders, and investors – the summit will decode the transformative potential of GenAI in India’s startup economy.

Inc42 has been at the forefront since the early days of GenAI, tracking its evolution and impact. Over the years, we’ve witnessed AI startups navigate the journey from nascent ideas to industry-defining breakthroughs. Now, it’s time to discuss what’s next. The Indian startup ecosystem is embracing the next phase of AI transformation, as GenAI continues to disrupt industries and redefine business strategies. The conversations around AI dominance, regulations, and its impact on jobs are only intensifying, making it imperative for tech leaders, investors, and policymakers to collaborate and navigate this evolving landscape.

While early adopters have leveraged GenAI to automate workflows, enhance efficiency, and optimize decision-making, 2025 is poised to bring even more significant shifts. We know that GenAI will continue to redefine how consumers interact with brands and services, disrupt traditional software development and distribution, and reshape entire industries.

The dilemma for startups and enterprises alike is no longer whether to integrate AI, though the challenge remains in how to do so effectively while staying competitive.

Meanwhile, as we predicted in the fall of 2024, this year is already becoming the year of agentic AI. Most of the Indian IT giants have either committed to or launched AI agents as offerings to their clients.

Notably, the GenAI Summit 2025 is India’s premier AI-focused conference, bringing together the most influential AI leaders, startup founders, investors, and enterprise decision-makers to debate, discuss, and showcase the future of AI-driven businesses. Founders, CTOs, investors, and AI pioneers will take the stage to explore trends in GenAI, practical applications of AI models, and India’s place in the global AI revolution.

Inc42 will host a series of interactive sessions, including keynotes, fireside chats, and panel discussions featuring leaders such as CoRover founder & CEO Ankush Sabharwal, Observe.AI CTO and co-founder Jithendra Vepa, Simpl CEO Nitya Sharma, Avataar founder Sravanth Aluru, MakeMyTrip’s Sanjay Mohan, and many more. With a stellar lineup of speakers, the summit promises in-depth discussions on some of the most pressing topics in AI today.
