TechSparks 2026: From AI and defence to edtech and SaaS, more builders join the New Tech Order
TechSparks 2026, a three-day startup and technology summit, will take place in Bengaluru from October 13-15. The event, themed ‘The New Tech Order’, will feature founders, technology leaders, and investors discussing shifts across AI, deeptech, digital infrastructure, consumer technology, education, defence, fintech, and the future of work in India.
The speaker lineup for TechSparks 2026 offers insight into current priorities for technology development and investment in India. The presence of leaders from companies like ShareChat, Amagi, and CleverTap, along with Amazon's VP of Machine Learning, indicates a focus on AI applications in areas such as content personalization, media infrastructure, and customer engagement.
Specific examples from the speaker list highlight how AI is being applied to address local market needs. Arvind Pani's work at CoreMantle, focusing on building data infrastructure for AI across underserved languages, dialects, and contexts, illustrates an effort to broaden AI's applicability beyond dominant linguistic groups in India.
The inclusion of figures from diverse sectors, including retail trading (Sahi), social media (ShareChat/Moj), cloud-native SaaS for media (Amagi), and education (Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions/Infinity Learn), demonstrates a broad integration of technology. This suggests that the impact of AI and digital transformation is permeating various parts of the economy and public life in India, rather than being confined to a few industries.
