India’s Semiconductor Era — Building a Global Superpower
India’s Semiconductor Era — Building a Global Superpower
AI Impact Summit 2026
🗓 February 17, 2026
⏰ 5:30 PM – 6:25 PM
📍 Room No. 8, Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
The future of AI will be built in silicon, systems, and scale.
As models grow more powerful, compute becomes the defining constraint — and the defining opportunity. From GPUs and custom silicon to inference efficiency and semiconductor policy, the next decade of AI leadership will be shaped as much by hardware as by software.
This session explores India’s 20-year semiconductor roadmap and what it will take to position the country as a global AI superpower.
Agenda
Opening Keynote
Amitesh Sinha
CEO, India Semiconductor Mission
Additional Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and IT
Panel Discussion
Moderated by Rajan Anandan, Managing Director, Peak XV
With:

Preetam Tadepally, Founder, C2I Semiconductors
Shashwath, Founder, Mindgrove Technologies
Expect conversations on:
The future of AI compute and semiconductor innovation
India’s role in the global silicon value chain
Custom silicon, inference efficiency, and cost curves
Building foundational AI models in a compute-constrained world
Aligning policy, capital, and engineering to unlock scale
As AI systems grow exponentially more capable, the real question is no longer just what we build — but what we build it on.
A focused, high-signal discussion on the hardware backbone of India’s AI future.
