India doesn't need more tech events. India needs AI ecosystems.
In February 2026, AI FEST 2026 at Chandigarh University is stepping forward with a bold ambition, to build India's most integrated Artificial Intelligence and innovation ecosystem.
This is not a conference. Not a hackathon. Not a college fest.
It is a national scale AI movement bringing together:
Students
Founders
Researchers
Investors
Policymakers
Industry leaders
under one shared mission: Innovation.
Organized by CU TBI | Technology Business Incubator, Chandigarh University.
From national AI competitions, research dialogues, and policy conversations to real startup launches and founder investor interactions, AI FEST 2026 is designed as a three day AI city inside a university.
Two initiatives define this vision:
SANDBOX: One day. One arena. 90 days of transformation. A founder first AI residency program built for execution, intensity, and real world impact.
Campus Tank: Three days. One AI journey. A national student startup launchpad, culminating in live investor pitching on 21 February 2026, connecting campus innovation with India's venture ecosystem.
At a time when India is shaping its AI leadership narrative, platforms like AI FEST 2026 matter more than ever, because ecosystems build nations, not events.
The event has become a possibility because of the rigorous support of respected Satnam Singh Sandhu sir.
This is where students become builders. Ideas become companies. Innovation becomes infrastructure.
The future of Indian AI is being built, right here.
