From Lab2Scale showcases and Power Tracks on AI, Quantum, Space & Defense-Tech, to our CXXO: No Ceiling Summit for women entrepreneurs, every element is engineered for outcomes. If you're building for Bharat and beyond, you need to be in the room."
The event also features a series of allied spotlights that celebrate innovation, leadership, and inclusivity across India's startup ecosystem.

As part of the CXXO initiatives at TiEcon Delhi-NCR, a landmark report, CXXO Wired for Impact — Women in Ind(AI) by Kalaari Capital, will also be launched at the event. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how India works, learns, and leads. But while the country stands at the forefront of this technological wave, women remain underrepresented in the very systems defining its future. It celebrates Notable women in AI 2025, and the report will release 50 names of notable women in AI 2025. CXXO Wired for Impact: Women in Ind(AI) is a first-of-its-kind compilation of key insights on India's AI–ML workforce, mapping where women stand across the AI value chain and how greater diversity in participation can strengthen the accuracy, inclusivity, and global competitiveness of AI built from India.
In a world reshaped by supply-chain realignments and tech rivalries, India's deep tech moment is a geopolitical and economic imperative. TiEcon Delhi-NCR 2025 focuses on sovereignty-critical technologies, national IP creation, and the virtuous cycle of talent–capital–markets, aligning with national missions such as IndiaAI and the deeptech push with ANRF.
