The India Artificial Intelligence (AI) Impact Summit 2026 is set to commence on Monday, attracting participants from more than 30 countries. This five-day event aims to showcase advancements and foster collaboration within the AI sector. Currently, India represents 5.7 percent of the global market, which consists of approximately 32,600 AI companies. Despite this growing presence, data shows that a significant portion of Indian AI firms—between 60 to 70 percent—have relied on seed-stage funding from 2016 to 2025. This reliance indicates that the industry is still largely in its nascent stage, highlighting both potential and challenges for growth in the coming years.
