India’s inaugural CTO Summit 2026 will take place on September 30 at JW Marriott, Bengaluru, bringing together over 150 technology and product leaders to discuss the evolving role of AI in product development and engineering organizations, according to inc42.com. The event is co-presented by Oracle and powered by OceanBase and Seedling Labs, with PhonePe Payment Gateway as a key partner.
The summit will feature 10 sessions focusing on how AI is reshaping technology roadmaps beyond pilot projects. Discussions will address challenges such as AI-generated production code verification, changes in engineering team structures, infrastructure cost management, and the integration of AI agents with commerce infrastructure. Leaders from companies including Swiggy, Flipkart, MakeMyTrip, PhonePe, and Razor will share insights on these topics, inc42.com reports.
This gathering underscores the shift from early AI experimentation to deeper integration within products and engineering systems. As AI begins to write significant portions of production code and interact directly with users through conversational interfaces, tech leaders must rethink data foundations, infrastructure economics, and organizational architecture. The summit reflects this broader industry movement in India’s fast-growing tech sector, according to inc42.com.
