The selected apps span key sectors such as governance, healthcare, education, agriculture, fintech, cybersecurity, language technologies, and citizen services. Many of these solutions leverage artificial intelligence to address real-world challenges, improve service delivery, and enhance decision-making across public and private sectors. The summit will provide these developers with a national platform to demonstrate how AI can drive inclusive growth and societal impact.

According to officials, the AI Impact Summit aims to bring together policymakers, startups, enterprises, researchers, and investors to foster collaboration and accelerate AI adoption. By spotlighting locally built applications, MeitY seeks to encourage wider adoption of Indian digital products, reduce dependence on foreign platforms, and strengthen data sovereignty.

The event will also feature discussions on responsible AI, data governance, trust frameworks, and emerging regulatory approaches, reflecting India’s growing role in shaping global AI norms. Startups participating in the showcase will gain exposure to government departments, large enterprises, and potential funding partners, opening pathways for scale and deployment.

With India rapidly emerging as a global technology hub, MeitY’s initiative underscores the country’s ambition to move beyond being a consumer of AI to becoming a creator of impactful, trustworthy, and scalable AI solutions for both domestic and global markets.
