Bengaluru will host TechSparks 2026 from October 13 to 15, drawing founders, investors, and policymakers to map India’s shifting technology order.
The summit arrives as artificial intelligence reshapes platform design, data infrastructure becomes strategic, and defence startups build manufacturing capabilities on home soil. Companies now face pressure to rethink customer engagement, workplace models, and product roadmaps simultaneously.
Organizers have framed this year’s theme as “The New Tech Order.” The event brings together voices spanning consumer tech, deeptech, edtech, fintech, defence, and digital infrastructure.
Government representation includes Karnataka ministers Priyank Kharge and Krishna Byre Gowda, plus Bihar Chief Secretary Pratyaya Amrit.

Meanwhile, Nitin Jain, CTO of ShareChat and Moj, brings experience from TikTok, Gojek, and Tokopedia. His work focuses on AI-driven recommendation systems serving users across India’s languages.
Srividhya Srinivasan, co-founder and CTO of Amagi, has built cloud-native SaaS infrastructure for media distribution. Rajeev Rastogi, VP of Machine Learning at Amazon, leads teams across search, advertising, payments, and forecasting. He previously directed Bell Labs Research Center in Bengaluru.
