Attended the Bharat Bodhan AI Conclave 2026 at Bharat Mandapam with ~100 exhibitors showcasing AI innovations across startups, institutions, and research labs.
Today I attended the Bharat Bodhan AI Conclave 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, and it was quite an impressive gathering. The event brought together approximately 100 exhibitors under one roof, creating a unique convergence of different players in the AI ecosystem.
What made it particularly interesting was the diversity of participants—startups showcasing their latest innovations, educational institutions presenting their research and programs, and research labs demonstrating cutting-edge work. Having all these different perspectives and approaches to AI in one space created a dynamic environment for learning and networking.
The venue, Bharat Mandapam, proved to be an excellent choice. The event was well organized with clear layouts and good flow between different sections. The organizers did a commendable job managing the logistics for such a large-scale event.
It’s encouraging to see this level of activity and interest in AI within India. Events like these provide valuable opportunities to understand the breadth of work happening in the field and to connect with diverse stakeholders working on different aspects of AI development and deployment.
