Opening on February 16 at Bharat Mandapam, the five-day summit has already seen an unprecedented number of nearly 2.5 lakh (250,000) registrations, indicating a significant interest in AI collaboration and policy dialogue.
An extensive on-ground logistics network has been deployed by the organizers to manage the expected surge of delegates, startups, and global leaders. In a remarkable blend of technology and commerce, quick-commerce platform Zepto will operate an exclusive dark store inside the venue to handle rapid supply needs during the summit. Additionally, Swiggy will integrate directly with food kiosks to streamline meal distribution for thousands of attendees.
