Introduction
Most enterprises have run their AI pilots by now. Few have scaled them. That gap is the whole subject of nasscom INNOSCALE, a one day conference on Wednesday 25 November 2026 at The Leela Ambience in Gurugram, running 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
INNOSCALE is a new flagship initiative from the nasscom AI Centre of Excellence, built around a simple pitch: one day, four sectors, and the leaders taking AI from pilot to production. The four sectors are health, manufacturing, retail, and logistics and supply chain, and the programme is a single track, so everyone in the room hears the same sessions.
More than 250 delegates have already registered, and slots are limited. Registration is required to attend.
Event Overview
nasscom INNOSCALE, titled "Enterprise AI: Innovation to Impact", is a one day conference on Wednesday 25 November 2026, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at The Leela Ambience, Gurugram, Haryana.
The format is one day, single track, four industry sectors, four session formats: leaders' keynotes, fireside chats and panels, startup pitching and exhibition, and by-invite roundtables. A parallel CXO roundtable on governing AI at enterprise scale runs by invitation only from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
The organisers describe the problem plainly: enterprises have run the pilots, and few have scaled them. The conference brings together the leaders who deploy AI, the companies that build it and the policymakers who govern it, to work on what actually blocks scale, which they name as governance, integration and change.

What to Expect
Expect a day that stays close to deployment. The agenda is built around panels and talks on moving AI into production, with startup showcases between sessions and a curated innovation zone where deep-tech startups exhibit.
The morning opens with a welcome address from Sanjeev Malhotra, CEO of the Nasscom AI CoE, on why scaling, not just adopting, is the 2026 enterprise question. That is followed by a leaders' address on national AI strategy and scaling infrastructure, a keynote from Dr. J. Ganesan, IAS, Commissioner and Secretary, Government of Haryana and CEO of ARJUN SPV, and an industry talk from Madhukar Yarra, CEO of NextWealth.
The panels cover the hard parts: why AI adoption stalls at scaling, scaling AI in regulated sectors such as BFSI, healthcare and pharma, AI governance and responsible AI including DPDP compliance, supply chain and retail AI, and AI on the manufacturing shop floor. Startup showcases run through the day, covering regulated sectors, manufacturing, healthcare and enterprise AI.
Who Should Attend
The conference is aimed at enterprise leaders first: CXOs, CDOs, CTOs and transformation heads from large and mid-sized enterprises across the four sectors, the people who approve, deploy and govern AI investments at scale.
Technology developers are the second audience: AI platform providers, foundational model builders, cloud hyperscalers and enterprise software engineering teams building production-ready generative and predictive AI.
AI startups and deep-tech founders can exhibit at the curated AI showcase, which includes a booth or high table, a speaking slot, branding, delegate passes and cloud credits subject to approval. Pricing for showcase slots is shared on request.

Venue and Location
The Leela Ambience sits in the Ambience Island complex on National Highway 48, close to the Delhi-Gurugram border, which makes it reachable from both Delhi and Gurugram, and a short drive from the airport.
Why This Event Matters
The enterprise AI conversation in India has moved past the demo stage. Every large company has pilots running. The question now is which of them survive contact with procurement, compliance, legacy systems and the shop floor, and that is a harder and more useful conversation than another showcase of what models can do.
INNOSCALE is built around that conversation, and the speaker list reflects it: CIOs and transformation heads from steel, diagnostics, retail, logistics and healthcare, alongside the policymakers writing the rules.
