India AI Summit - Cocktails & Conversations by Hunch Ventures & EDGE
Before India AI Summit begins next week, we are hosting a smaller, private evening.
EDGE, in partnership with Hunch Ventures, is convening a curated gathering at a private residence in South Delhi — bringing together AI pioneers, investors, industrial leaders, and builders whose work carries real-world consequence.
The room will include people leading OpenAI, Anthropic, WWT, Google, Columbia University, Snap, CERN, Medanta, Peak XV Partners, Turgon.ai and academic institutions including Harvard University, Stanford University, MIT Media Labs, and ETH Zurich, Mistral, Salesforce AI, Amazon, Qualcomm, Accenture, Cisco, Cloudflare — alongside many others working quietly at the frontier.
The intention is simple: create space for open conversation, shared curiosity, and unhurried connection — away from stages, schedules, and public framing.
