Leg 2 | VivaTech 2026 | Paris, France

I was honoured to attend the 10th edition of VivaTech 2026 in Paris as a Special Guest Invitee of Choose Paris Region, joining one of the world’s most influential gatherings of technology leaders, innovators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, and global business executives.

VivaTech continues to be a remarkable platform where governments, industry leaders, startups, and academia come together to shape the future of technology and innovation. The event provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, explore emerging technologies, and engage in meaningful discussions on the future of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, entrepreneurship, and global collaboration.

It was a privilege to interact with and learn from an exceptional group of global leaders, including Maurice Lévy, Tim Armstrong, Patrick Pouyanné, Mohamed Kande, Nick Clegg, Ekaterina Zaharieva, Nathalie Tinjod, Alexandra Dublanche, Violaine Briens, Philippe Rullaud, Anna Pruvot, Kaouter Sghiouer, Dr. Olaf Maecker, Patrick Monteiro, Marie Thery, Sebastian Steinhaeuser, Pascal Brier, Pascal Bain, Gonzalo Fuentes, and many other distinguished leaders driving innovation across industries.

One of the defining moments of the event was witnessing Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, President Emmanuel Macron, and Hon’ble Union Minister Shri Piyush Goyal ji reaffirm their shared commitment to innovation, entrepreneurship, and strengthening the India–France technology partnership on the global stage.

Another memorable highlight was seeing my acquaintance, Vikram Vishal, and his Indian energy startup receive well-deserved recognition from global leaders—an inspiring reflection of the growing influence of Indian innovation and entrepreneurship worldwide.

Representing IFIN Global Group at VivaTech 2026 has been an enriching experience. I return with renewed inspiration, valuable global perspectives, and stronger international relationships that will further support our vision of fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth across global markets.

My sincere appreciation goes to Choose Paris Region, Business France, the Embassy of India in France, the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, and everyone who contributed to making the 10th edition of VivaTech an outstanding global platform for technology, innovation, and collaboration.

The future is not something we wait for—it is something we build together.
