Government vision on AI governance, semiconductor sovereignty and India's digital positioning on the world stage

Bilawal Sidhu on world models, spatial intelligence and the AR/AI interface revolution. The technical shift that's about to make your phone look like a calculator.

What journalism requires that no algorithm can navigate. What it means to break a story that powerful people want suppressed. What it costs. And why that cost is precisely what gives journalism its value.

India put a spacecraft on the moon's south pole before most countries had a private rocket. That was the proof of concept. What comes next is a business, satellites that pay, drones that defend, orbital infrastructure that belongs to India. The question is no longer whether India can reach space. It is who owns what happens when it gets there.

Ten million graduates enter India's workforce every year. Most of them spent four years learning things a chatbot can now do in four seconds. The obvious answer is to replace the degree with AI-powered learning. The uncomfortable question nobody is asking: what if the new school is just as broken as the old one, just faster and cheaper to scale?

Sustainability has been a conviction for long enough, but is it a business model? Learn from founders who built profitable companies with climate and circularity at the core, not as a narrative, but as a P&L line, on what it actually takes to make the planet pay

India has built one of the world's most elaborate deep tech funding architectures and most founders never touched a rupee of it. This session tears open the gap between scheme design and ground reality: who the system was actually built for, what fills the void when it fails, and what a genuinely founder-first capital stack looks like.

The easy bet on India is obvious. This session is about the harder, longer, stranger ones, the companies that do not exist yet, the sectors nobody is funding, the version of India that does not look like the pitch deck.

Uber's engineering head on AI mobility. Quantela on AI city platforms. An urban planner asking: are Indian cities physically and institutionally built for any of this?

Two schools of thought on who should fund India's future. One says global capital brings the networks, the discipline and the ambition India needs to scale. The other says India built its unicorn decade with Indian money. Both are right. But which is the right way for you?
