Inc42’s CTO Summit 2026 draws 200+ as AI discussions evolve
Inc42 hosted its first CTO Summit 2026 on September 30 at the JW Marriott in Bengaluru, with over 200 attendees.
This lines up with earlier observations in our September 29 coverage, where we noted a possible shift in AI strategy among some attendees. It also happens alongside Q3 2026 funding trends in India, where investment rose 5% year-over-year to $2.2 billion, though the increase was modest and reflected a more cautious approach from investors.
The summit’s focus, based on what’s been reported, seems to point toward a growing interest in moving beyond early-stage AI experiments. Whether this leads to actual changes—like cost savings, new products, or better competitive positioning—isn’t clear yet. For now, the event shows how conversations about AI are changing. The real test will be what comes next.
