The India Digital Summit (IDS) is the flagship event of the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI). Since 2006, IDS has been the leading platform for India’s digital ecosystem to come together, exchange insights, and advance an agenda for a progressive and pragmatic policy framework that supports the sustained growth of the nation’s digital economy.
With more than 900 million internet users in the country, India stands at the cusp of a new digital era shaped by the rise of AI, nation-wide connectivity, and the rapid transformation of digital infrastructures. As India’s AI market is projected to grow to over USD 17 billion by 2027, there exists an opportunity for the country to lead the world in building scalable, secure and inclusive digital solutions.
To translate this potential into long term economic reality, India must develop a robust AI ecosystem that not only fosters innovation but also ensures resilience, trust and global competitiveness. This requires a coordinated effort across industry and government to strengthen cyber preparedness, boost India’s digital exports, enable AI adoption in traditional sectors and support Start-ups in building intelligent products and services.
India Digital Summit 2026 marks a defining milestone, bridging today’s digital scale with tomorrow’s intelligent systems. It is where India’s digital vision meets its AI ambition, setting the stage for how innovation, regulation, and inclusion can come together to define the next decade of global digital leadership.
Instituted under the India Digital Summit, the India Digital Awards (IDA) remain India’s most prestigious recognition of excellence in the digital ecosystem. Returning with its 16th edition, IDA 2026 will continue to honour the visionaries, innovators, and leaders driving India’s digital growth story. With a distinguished jury of industry stalwarts, the awards span 4 main categories and over 50 subcategories, ensuring that outstanding contributions from every corner of the digital landscape are acknowledged and celebrated.
Whether you’re building the next big thing in tech or working to make digital empowerment truly inclusive, IDS 2026 is where industry leaders, innovators, and changemakers converge—to shape the future of Digital Bharat and beyond.
