AI events in Kolkata

AI roundtables, masterclasses and dialogues for Kolkata's tech leaders.

Our events put CIOs, CTOs, founders, academics and policymakers in the same room. Some are closed-door roundtables, some are hands-on masterclasses, and some are public dialogues open to anyone. They take place in Kolkata, in other Indian cities and online.

Formats

Six kinds of event, each with one job.

We run each format for a reason: to learn, to decide, or to share what we have found.

Invitation only

Roundtables

Twelve to twenty people around one table, under the Chatham House Rule. Government, industry and academia work through one hard question.
