12th Edition to Explore How Partners Can Move Beyond Product Selling and Build High-Growth Solution Businesses
DT Partner Summit 2026 is all set to return with its 12th edition on 19th June 2026, in New Delhi, bringing together leading technology brands, distributors, value-added resellers, system integrators, managed service providers, solution specialists, and channel leaders from across India for a day of insightful discussions, strategic networking, and business-focused learning.
Over the past decade, the Indian IT channel ecosystem has witnessed remarkable transformation. From driving PC adoption and infrastructure deployments to enabling cloud migration, cybersecurity readiness, and digital transformation initiatives, channel partners have consistently played a critical role in helping businesses embrace technology. However, the market dynamics are changing once again.
The Channel Industry at a Turning Point
The Indian IT channel ecosystem is witnessing another significant phase of transformation. From enabling digital adoption and infrastructure modernization to driving cloud, cybersecurity, and digital workplace solutions, channel partners have played an instrumental role in supporting the technology ambitions of businesses across sectors.
Today, however, customer expectations are changing rapidly. Organizations are no longer looking for standalone products or transactional engagements. They increasingly seek end-to-end solutions that address business challenges, improve efficiency, strengthen security, accelerate innovation, and deliver measurable outcomes.
This shift is redefining the role of channel partners and creating a need for deeper expertise, stronger service capabilities, and a more consultative approach to customer engagement.
Beyond Products to Solutions
Recognizing this evolving market reality, the theme of DT Partner Summit 2026, "Beyond Products to Solutions: How Channel Partners Can Build High-Growth Businesses in the AI Era," focuses on one of the most important transitions currently underway in the technology industry.
While products continue to remain a critical component of the channel business, future growth will increasingly be driven by the ability to design, deploy, integrate, and manage solutions that help customers achieve their business objectives.
The summit will examine how channel organizations can move beyond traditional product-led models and build sustainable, solution-centric businesses that create long-term value for customers while unlocking new revenue opportunities.
Conversations Focused on Business Outcomes
DT Partner Summit 2026 aims to create meaningful conversations around the changing dynamics of the technology business and the evolving role of channel partners in the AI era.
Industry leaders, technology experts, business strategists, and successful channel entrepreneurs will share perspectives on the trends shaping the market and the strategies required to remain competitive in an increasingly solution-driven environment.
Speaking about the significance of the 12th edition of the summit, Rajeev Ranjan, Editor & Publisher, Digital Terminal, said, "Having interacted with thousands of channel partners over the years, one thing has become increasingly clear to me: growth today is no longer determined by the number of products a partner sells, but by the value they create for customers. The channel community is at a defining moment where traditional business models are being challenged by changing customer expectations, AI-driven innovation, and the growing demand for specialized solutions.”
He further noted, “When we conceptualized the theme for DT Partner Summit 2026, we wanted to focus on a question that is on the mind of every channel entrepreneur: Where will the next phase of growth come from? The answer lies in moving beyond transactions and building expertise, services, and solution-led businesses. Through this summit, we aim to bring together industry leaders, technology innovators, and channel partners to share practical insights, real-world experiences, and growth strategies that can help businesses thrive in this new era."
Sharing her thoughts on this year's theme, Jyoti Janda, Executive Editor, Digital Terminal, said, "The technology industry is evolving rapidly, and channel partners are continuously adapting to new opportunities and changing market demands. Today, customers are increasingly looking for solutions that improve efficiency, strengthen security, and drive business growth, which opens up new opportunities for partners to expand their role and value. Through DT Partner Summit 2026, we aim to bring together industry experts, technology leaders, and channel partners to discuss these shifts, share practical insights, and explore how businesses can grow in an increasingly AI-driven environment. Our focus is on enabling meaningful conversations that help partners stay informed, competitive, and future-ready."
