Nasscom, in collaboration with RBB Economics, is bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, startups, and experts for a focused discussion on "From Framework to Action: Implementation of the AI Chakras" on April 15, 2026 in New Delhi.

Building on the outcomes of the AI Impact Summit 2026 and the New Delhi Declaration, the deliberation will focus on translating the Seven Chakras of Action into concrete pathways for industry and policymakers, with a particular focus on two pillars: Democratising AI Resources and Resilient, Efficient & Innovative AI Systems.
The discussion will explore access to AI capabilities, competition in AI markets, and the development of scalable and resilient AI infrastructure in India.
