India Contech Summit 2026 - Day 2
As India’s construction market continues to scale, global software companies and contractors are rethinking how they engage with the region.
For some, India represents one of the world’s largest and fastest growing construction markets with unique buyers, procurement dynamics, and go to market challenges. For others, India has become a critical hub for design, R&D, and delivery, supporting global operations through offshore teams and Global Capability Centers.
Day 2 of the India ConTech Summit focuses on how global companies are operating with India today.
Across two panels, we will explore how construction technology companies sell into the Indian market and how global construction firms are building long term teams, capabilities, and operating models with India at the core.
This session is designed for operators, founders, and industry leaders looking for practical insight into what works, what breaks, and how successful teams are structuring their approach.
