Topics will range from architectural choices that withstand exponential business growth to when to rebuild systems instead of continuously patching them.
The discussions will also touch upon the balance between speed, reliability, security, and cost in a rapidly automating software development landscape.
Joining the summit will be technology leaders from growth-stage startups, unicorns, and other scaled technology businesses, including CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Technology, CISOs, AI and ML leaders, architects, platform leaders, and founders. With 10+ sessions focused on the operating problems technology leaders face today, the Inc42 CTO Summit 2026 promises to be a crucial platform for addressing the complex tech challenges shaping India's digital future.
