Event Details:
Join us on 12 February, 2026 for an insightful day filled with talks, workshops, roundtables and networking opportunities, all centered around transforming the world of food.
The core intention of this event is to bring together people building across plant-based food, alternative protein, animal advocacy, communications, funding, and systems change to answer - What does building the animal-forward, plant-based movement actually look like in India, on Indian terms?
The summit will be hosted at the Code for Compassion Campus, a dynamic 6,000 sq. ft. innovation hub in Bengaluru, one of the world’s premier tech cities. This beautiful creative space is dedicated to building AI for impact and driving systems change for animals and the planet.
The room would be filled with people involved in the world of AI, animal advocacy, climate, policy work and much more.
This event is an attempt to:
Surface India-specific insights rather than importing playbooks
Share honest learnings in terms of what has worked, what hasn’t, and why
Break silos between founders, advocates, communicators, funders, and ecosystem builders
Move from parallel efforts to collective momentum
What we want to explore together:
How does the plant-based movement in India differ from Western contexts culturally, emotionally, and practically?
What has actually worked in India across:
Food and product adoption
Communication and storytelling
Policy, religion, culture, and tradition
Consumer psychology and affordability
Key Questions We’ll Explore:
Where are we duplicating effort instead of collaborating?
What are the gaps in the Indian ecosystem when it comes to funding, talent, narratives, coordination?
How do we build with Indian culture rather than against it?
By the end of the event, the goal is clarity, coordinated connection and ecosystem building, specifically:
A shared understanding of India-specific movement dynamics
Clear themes and intention areas where collaboration makes sense
Alignment on the need for ongoing + consistent cross-industry knowledge sharing (not one-off conversations)
Interest in forming a light, informal working group that meets periodically to:
Exchange insights
Share resources and learnings
Collaborate on messaging, strategy, or funding pathways
We look forward to seeing you soon!
