Indiaspora to host multiple events in Bengaluru

Indiaspora, a San Francisco-based non-profit organisation which connects leaders of the Indian diaspora, is holding its 2026 Indiaspora Forum from Sunday, March 22, to Tuesday, March 24, and also a Global AI Summit on Wednesday, March 25, at J.W. Marriott Prestige Golfshire Resort in Bengaluru.

The 2026 Indiaspora Forum will bring together global changemakers for conversations on topics such as Artificial Intelligence, climate and sustainability, health, education, geopolitics, philanthropy, and India’s cultural and literary heritage, say the organisers of the event.

Speakers would include Vijay Amritraj, founder, Vijay Amritraj Foundation; Sanjiv Bajaj, chairman, Bajaj Finserv Limited; Gita Gopinath, former first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund; Kiran Nadar, founder, Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, and Nandan Nilekani, co-founder and Chairman, Infosys.

Indiaspora’s 4th Global AI Summit, on March 25, is expected to bring together leading founders of top 100 start-ups, policymakers, investors, and technocrats to examine how AI is rapidly transforming industries and redefining the future of business.

According to information shared by Indiaspora, the Global AI Summit will offer a high-level exploration of the current ways in which AI is reshaping industries, alongside deep dives into breakthrough innovations expected to drive the next wave of economic and technological transformation.

M.R Rangaswami, founder and chairman, Indiaspora, said, “We have convened very successful global AI summits for the diaspora in Silicon Valley and Dubai, and this year we chose Bengaluru to bring the conversation to India. By convening diaspora leaders alongside global experts and Indian innovators, we are creating a powerful exchange of ideas that reflects India’s central role in shaping the future of AI.”

Discussions would spotlight how Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are adopting AI at scale, building advanced capability hubs, and establishing global centers of excellence, and how Indian corporations are utilising AI throughout their businesses, the NGO said.

“As AI moves from experimentation to real-world deployment, forums like the Indiaspora Global AI Summit create important spaces to exchange perspectives, learn from each other, and build relationships that strengthen the broader innovation ecosystem,” said Vani Kola, managing director, Kalaari Capital.
