Event Overview

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, digital-native organizations are redefining industries by leveraging cutting-edge technology to challenge the status quo. To stay ahead, they need solutions that are open, scalable, flexible, and cost-effective—enabling faster innovation, operational efficiency, global reach, and data-driven decision-making.

IBM and AWS have joined forces to accelerate this technology journey with open, cloud-native solutions designed to scale seamlessly as businesses grow. These offerings are purpose-built to meet the agility, speed, and resilience demands of modern digital-native companies.
On 18 February 2026, IBM marked a key milestone by expanding the availability of its software portfolio on the AWS Marketplace across 92 countries, including India, making enterprise‑grade technology more accessible to startups and fast‑growing organizations.
To celebrate this collaboration, we invite you to the startup summit.

Session Tracks

Organizations often struggle with AI reliability because their models depend on static, siloed, and stale data that lacks the real‑time context needed for accurate reasoning.
With nearly 70% of enterprise AI failures traced back to poor data quality and fragmentation (industry analyst estimates), the gap between AI potential and real outcomes continues to widen.
By shifting to an architecture that delivers continuously enriched, governed, and context‑aware data, enterprises can:

  • Improve AI accuracy
  • Reduce hallucinations
  • Accelerate decision-making
  • Achieve faster, measurable business impact
  • A dynamic, real‑time data foundation is what moves AI from pilot to production.

Modern enterprises increasingly operate across complex hybrid environments - spanning cloud, on‑premise systems, microservices, APIs, and distributed networks. When organizations lack end‑to‑end visibility, growth slows. Teams become reactive, troubleshooting becomes guesswork, and leaders remain blind to business impact until customers feel it.
This introduces the need of full‑stack observability with integrated automation—a simplified, zero‑configuration approach that gives teams real‑time context, predictive insights, and instant answers. The result: faster recovery, higher service reliability, and reduced operational risk and downtime.

  • Real-Time Application Performance Monitoring
  • Proactive Incident Detection & Root Cause Analysis
  • Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Observability
  • End-User Experience Monitoring
  • DevOps & CI/CD Optimization

With the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act now moving from policy to strict enforcement in 2026, enterprises must demonstrate verifiable, end‑to‑end control of personal data—including how it is collected, stored, accessed, processed, shared, and deleted.
DPDP introduces substantial obligations such as mandatory breach notifications, evidence‑based data lifecycle management, consent‑linked processing, and stringent penalties up to ₹250 crore for non‑compliance.

  • DPDP Compliance Pressure Is Real and Immediate
  • Need for Continuous Data Discovery and Classification
  • Monitoring and Securing Data Across Hybrid Environments
  • Demonstrable “Reasonable Security Safeguards”
  • Faster, Accurate Breach Detection and Mandatory Notifications
  • Enabling Trust and Transparency for Data Principals

As organisations move toward cloud‑first, AI‑enabled, and hybrid operating models, infrastructure complexity grows exponentially. Organisations must provision, update, secure, and govern environments across multiple clouds, data centres, and edge locations—often with inconsistent processes and limited visibility.
Digital native companies must focus on infrastructure automation (IaC) to deliver consistent, compliant, and repeatable environments at scale. By standardising infrastructure creation using reusable templates and policy‑driven governance, organisations can accelerate transformation, reduce operational risk, and free engineering capacity for innovation.

  • Infrastructure Consistency & Standardisation at Scale
  • Speed & Agility for Digital and AI Programmes
  • Policy‑as‑Code for Security, Compliance, and Auditability
  • Multi‑Cloud Governance & Risk Reduction
  • Cost Control & Operational Efficiency
  • Empowering Developers While Maintaining Enterprise Guardrails

As organisations adopt agentic AI, systems will increasingly make decisions and take autonomous actions across the enterprise. In this environment, trust becomes the foundational control layer. IT and security leaders must continuously verify identities, govern access, and protect sensitive data and secrets as workloads, users, and AI agents interact in real time.
Traditional, static security models—built on long‑lived credentials and manual processes—are no longer sufficient. This session explores how continuous verification, dynamic access controls, and intelligent secrets management can be embedded directly into enterprise workflows, enabling secure autonomy, regulatory confidence, and resilient operations across hybrid and AI‑driven environments.

  • Establishing continuous trust and verification in autonomous, agent‑driven environments
  • Governing identity, access, and secrets across hybrid and AI‑driven workloads
  • Enabling secure autonomy while meeting regulatory and compliance requirements
