The digital backbone of India’s economy is converging on Mumbai. This week, the NexTech Summit 2026, presented by NetNex Global, will transform the city into the nerve center of enterprise innovation. As India’s largest gathering of Chief Information Officers (CIOs), the summit will host over 500 senior technology leaders for a series of high-stakes, closed-door strategy sessions.
In an era where “digital-first” is no longer a choice but a survival tactic, this summit serves as the ultimate roadmap for the year ahead.
Intelligence at the Core: Why This Gathering Matters
The theme for 2026, “Enterprise Connected: Intelligence at the Core, Transformation at Scale,” hits the nail on the head. We are moving past the hype of AI experimentation and into the gritty reality of operationalizing intelligence.
For the modern CIO, the pressure is immense. They are not just managing servers; they are securing digital borders and driving measurable business growth. The summit focuses on three critical pillars:
- Scaling Enterprise Intelligence: Moving AI from pilot projects to core business functions.
- Strengthening Cyber Resilience: Protecting the hyper-connected enterprise against evolving threats.
- Modernising Architecture: Building the flexible infrastructure required for a 2026 marketplace.
A Powerhouse Lineup of Tech Visionaries
This is not just another tech talk; it’s a meeting of the minds behind India’s most significant digital infrastructure. Some of the featured leaders taking the stage include:
- Rohit Kilam, CTO, HDFC Life
- Khushru Mistry, CTO, GM Modular
- Milind Korgaonkar, CIO & CDO, Bajaj Electricals
- Atanu Roy, President & Group CIO, PI Industries
- Ramita Vikram, VP, Customer Experience, Akasa Air
These leaders will participate in curated leadership panels and peer-to-peer dialogues, sharing “battle-tested” insights on navigating organisational complexity.
The Ecosystem Driving the Change
A summit of this magnitude requires a robust support system. NexTech Summit 2026 has partnered with the heavy hitters of the tech world to provide the tools necessary for this transformation:
- Digital Transformation Partner: Zoho
- Gold Partners: Freshworks and Trundl
- Networking & Exhibition: Prosares Solutions and Atomicwork
Together, these partners are bringing AI-driven solutions and enterprise-grade platforms to the forefront of the discussion.
An Exclusive, Results-Driven Environment
Unlike massive, crowded trade shows, NexTech remains a strictly invite-only, closed-door event. This exclusivity ensures that the conversations stay high-level and outcome-oriented. By vetting every attendee, the summit fosters an environment where the country’s most influential decision-makers can speak candidly about the challenges and triumphs of leading India’s digital evolution.
As the doors open in Mumbai tomorrow, the strategies discussed will likely define the trajectory of Indian business technology for the rest of the decade.
