The event will bring together industrial leaders, technology providers, and policymakers to discuss real-world Industrial AI applications in Bangalore
Industrial AI is rapidly evolving from experimental pilot programs to delivering measurable outcomes on the plant floor, placing growing pressure on industry leaders to distinguish real business value from market hype.
Against this backdrop, the ARC Industry Leadership India Forum, scheduled to take place in Bangalore on July 9–10, 2026, will bring together decision-makers, innovators, and industry practitioners to explore practical applications that are driving tangible operational results.
This year’s discussions will focus on how AI is being effectively deployed across industrial operations to enhance throughput, improve quality consistency, minimise unplanned downtime, and strengthen supply-chain resilience amid increasing market volatility.
The Forum will begin with a keynote session and executive panel examining some of the industry’s most pressing questions: Which Industrial AI applications are currently generating measurable ROI? What are the primary barriers to scaling initiatives—data readiness, workforce capabilities, change management, or integration with legacy infrastructure? And how can companies transition from isolated proof-of-concept projects to enterprise-wide implementation? Sessions will also address governance, model reliability, and the operational complexities of deploying AI in environments where safety, compliance, and uptime remain critical priorities.
A defining feature of the ARC India Forum is its diverse mix of participants, including industrial end users, technology providers, policymakers, analysts, and media representatives from both process and discrete manufacturing sectors. The event offers operational leaders an opportunity to exchange insights on deployment strategies and implementation challenges, while enabling solution providers to better understand real-world operational and supply-chain requirements. For stakeholders tracking India’s industrial transformation, the Forum provides valuable perspective on emerging market directions and innovation trends.
“If your organisation is evaluating Industrial AI, scaling it across sites, or modernising the data and automation foundation beneath it, the Forum offers practical insights and high-value connections to move faster with confidence,” said G. Ganapathiraman, Vice President & General Manager, ARC Advisory Group India.
