Vardhan AI Community at Antino AI Summit 2026

What we saw, what we learned and the conversations shaping AI in Bengaluru.

Antino AI Summit 2026 — 18 September, Bengaluru

We were there

Vardhan AI Community was at Antino AI Summit 2026 in Bengaluru on Friday, 18 September, attending as a delegate. It's the second edition of Antino's flagship summit, held at The Koramangala Club from 5:00 PM and marking eight years of Antino.

We didn't organise this one — it's Antino's event. We went for the reason this community exists: to learn, meet people building with AI and bring useful ideas back.

What we saw

Antino describes the evening as panel discussions, keynote addresses, networking and dinner, alongside its eight-year celebration. The published programme was built around two panels and a keynote:

Panel I — “From AI-Enabled to AI-Native”, with investors. Panel II — “Engineering the AI-Native Enterprise”, with business operators. A keynote from Antino's co-founders.

The through-line across the programme was the shift from adding AI to existing businesses towards building AI-native ones — a question we think about every day at Vardhan AI.

In the conversations on the day, the Company Brain — a single, connected layer of a company's knowledge that AI can work from — came up again and again. It's the same idea we build at Vardhan AI, so it was good to hear it discussed so openly.
