AgentsNexus India 2026 Conference Overview
The AgentsNexus India 2026 conference, billed as the country's leading event on Agentic AI and autonomous systems, took place on September 4‑5, 2026 at the C V Vishveshwara Auditorium within the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium in Bengaluru. The venue marked a first for India, being the inaugural tech conference hosted inside a planetarium.
The two‑day format began with hands‑on workshops on September 4, followed by a full day of keynotes, talks and panel discussions on September 5. Attendance exceeded 600 practitioners, representing a doubling of the inaugural 2025 edition, which had drawn roughly 300 participants.
Keynote Speakers and Sessions
The opening keynote was delivered by Manish Gupta, Senior Director at Google DeepMind, who discussed the relationship between frontier models and agentic capability. This was followed by Michael Hunger, Vice President of Product Innovation at Neo4j, who explained how agents source and use context to reason and act. Throughout the day, sessions featured practitioners from Microsoft, Adobe, Elastic, Sarvam, Arm, Qualcomm, UiPath, Palo Alto Networks, DevRev, and CodeRabbit, covering topics such as agent memory, knowledge graphs, on‑device inference, MCP security, and production‑grade agentic systems.
Two panel discussions anchored the agenda:
1. "AI Agents are ready. Is your enterprise ready?" – panelists from Qualcomm, LottieFiles, and DevRev, moderated by Neo4j’s Michael Hunger, examined enterprise adoption pace.
2. "The New Developer Stack: Building, Debugging, and Trusting AI Agents" – moderated by Karthik Rameshkumar of Entire, with panelists from Adobe, Arm, and UiPath, explored tooling and workflow divergences from traditional software development.
Sponsorship and Partnerships
Gold sponsorship was provided by UiPath, Neo4j, Qualcomm, Logitech, and CodeRabbit. Silver sponsorship came from DevRev and Databricks. A broader group of enterprise and platform partners also supported the event.
Organiser Commentary
Co‑founders Siddhant Agarwal and Yashraj Nayak remarked, "Going from 300 to over 600 attendees in a single year tells us the agentic AI community in India isn't just growing, it's showing up ready to build. We kept the agenda practitioner‑first again this year on purpose, real teams talking about what breaks when you put agents into production, not just what's possible on a slide. That's the conversation we want to keep having as we build toward 2027."
Outlook
AgentsNexus India announced that the third edition will be held in 2027, promising a larger and sharper event built on the community contributions of the 2026 conference.
