At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Vishal Sikka, former Infosys CEO, urged India to harness AI to create a “human revolution” that empowers entrepreneurs nationwide.
He said AI should not just drive profits but help people lead meaningful, productive lives. Drawing lessons from India’s past successes in connectivity and food security, Sikka stressed the importance of making AI accessible, responsible, and practical.
He reflected that Infosys had built an AI platform over a decade ago, but the technology then was not widely adopted. Today, he sees an opportunity for AI to unlock innovation for millions.
