Keynote: Building Software with AI and Agents — What Comes Next
AI is transforming how software gets built -- and fast. Agents can now build, deploy, and operate software across the full lifecycle. This keynote explores what that shift looks like in practice, with live demos across GitHub and Microsoft Foundry -- and why India's developer ecosystem is at the center of what comes next.

Fireside Chat: What's Real, What's Next, and Where the Opportunities Are
There's a lot of hype right now about what AI can do. But where do agents actually deliver today, and where do they still break down? What should developers be looking for beyond the model when they make platform decisions? And as foundation models get more capable, where are the durable opportunities for builders in India? Jay Parikh (EVP, CoreAI, Microsoft) and Shekhar Kirani (Partner, Accel) take on these questions.

Inside Sarvam's 105B Journey: Scaling LLMs from Pretraining to Multimodality
A technical deep-dive by the Sarvam engineering team on how they scaled large language models from early pretraining to a 105B Mixture-of-Experts system. The session covers key challenges across large-scale pretraining, reinforcement learning, and extending models to multimodal capabilities, including vision and speech — with a focus on real engineering trade-offs and lessons learned.

GitHub Next: Exploring the Future of Agentic Development
GitHub Next is GitHub's labs team, where we look ahead at how software development might evolve — and the only reliable way to do that is by building real things. In this session, the team that originally created GitHub Copilot shares an early look at new ways developers could work with AI agents and with each other. As code becomes easier to generate but harder to reason about, how do we automate what was previously out of reach? And how do humans and agents collaborate to arrive at the right code, not just more of it? This talk offers a candid look at the raw ideas and work-in-progress shaping the future of agentic development.
