The curtain has officially been raised on the ET Soonicorns Summit 2025, with organisers unveiling key themes for the highly anticipated event on August 22.
This year’s summit will focus on artificial intelligence, specifically addressing infrastructure needs, security challenges, and ethical frameworks. The virtual pre-event brought together industry veterans, startup founders, and policymakers to chart India’s AI roadmap.
Speakers emphasised the importance of building indigenous AI infrastructure to reduce reliance on foreign cloud providers, while ensuring robust regulations to curb misuse.
“AI will be the defining technology of our generation, but without clear ethical guidelines and robust talent pipelines, India risks falling behind,” said a senior official from NASSCOM during the session.
The summit is expected to attract over 500 delegates, including unicorn founders, venture capitalists, and corporate leaders, all eager to shape India’s AI-driven future.
