Announcing The GenAI Summit 2025: Shaping The Future Of GenAI In India

It’s the end of 2024, and we are in the AI-driven era where every industry is trying to pace up by infusing machine learning, generative AI (GenAI) and automation. 

What started as noise or a minor buzz in 2020 has reached incredible heights, with startups now raising funds to create next-gen solutions based on AI — from robotics for manufacturing to AI-powered applications making enterprises more efficient. 

The wave of consumer-focussed AI solutions has also burgeoned with most smartphones today coming with a smattering of GenAI tools that have become the focal point of million-dollar marketing campaigns.

Having studied the rise of GenAI closely over the past half a decade, last year we gave the world a peek into the AI innovation happening in India with The GenAI Summit. And this was at a time when Ola Krutrim had just entered the unicorn club.

Over the past 12 months, we have seen the ecosystem grow faster than many expected. India is currently home to more than 200 GenAI startups and these startups have raised more than $1.2 Bn since 2020.

India’s GenAI market, which is expected to see a major boom in the coming years, is projected to cross the $17 Bn mark by 2030. And in April 2025, we are diving into the startups, the enterprises and the innovators making the most of this opportunity with the GenAI Summit 2025.

What To Expect At The GenAI Summit 2025?

The first edition of The GenAI Summit in April 2024 brought more than 30 speakers on one stage, with 16 insightful sessions shaping the course of AI-powered startups and native AI companies throughout the year.

To continue Inc42’s legacy of getting a deeper understanding of emerging technologies, the second edition of The GenAI Summit will explore how startups are leveraging AI’s potential after testing waters in the past two years. 

As usual, the invite-only gathering will have a curated audience of 250 of India’s foremost minds in AI and tech startups in Bengaluru, with discussions and fireside chats featuring thought leaders, influential CTOs, CEOs and cofounders of native GenAI startups as well as investors that are fuelling the next wave of innovation. 

Founders, investors, CTOs, and AI professionals will engage in debates and discussions on the latest trends in generative AI and how businesses can strategically leverage large language models, action models, agents and other AI products to become more efficient.

The summit will also analyse India’s position in the global landscape and how the Indian startup ecosystem is capitalising on the rise of GenAI.

Plus, the need for AI regulations has only become clearer over the past year with a number of concerns and issues raised by authorities, internet rights groups, consumers and businesses. What is the state of regulations for AI and is India creating the foundation for ethical AI? 

It’s not just businesses and consumers, even the government is actively looking at how AI can influence decision-making in governance and streamline delivery of government services to the public. What role is the National AI Mission playing in this regard and how are startups leveraging this? 

In addition to the live demos of emerging AI startups, the GenAI Summit 2025 will feature more than a dozen dynamic sessions, including keynotes, fireside chats, and interactive panels, to ensure it emerges as the biggest networking event for the AI community of India.
