“At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, the defining shift is from experimentation to operationalisation. The real conversation is no longer about access to models or compute, but about embedding AI into core industry workflows at scale.
Across regulated sectors like capital markets, the bar is materially higher. Systems must be compliant, auditable and aligned with governance frameworks from inception. Infrastructure, policy clarity and workforce readiness are becoming as critical as technical capability. Competitive advantage will accrue to firms that can translate AI capability into production-grade systems with measurable outcomes.
In capital markets specifically, this means moving beyond analytics overlays toward AI-native operating layers that redesign document workflows, due diligence processes and transaction intelligence. The broader takeaway from the Summit is clear: India’s AI opportunity will be realised not through pilots, but through disciplined deployment into the economic rails that power growth.”
