NPAV Presents ASIRT Synergy Biz Conclave 2026 concluded successfully, bringing together system integrators, technology partners, industry leaders, and media representatives for three days of collaboration, learning, and business networking.
Organized by the Association of System Integrators and Retailers in Technology (ASIRT) from 7th to 9th August 2026 at the Radisson Blu Plaza Resort & Convention Centre, Karjat, the conclave brought together 130 ASIRT members, 40 delegates representing sponsoring and partner organizations from across the country, 10 technology media professionals, and Guest of Honour Navin Gupta, President of FAIITA, creating a vibrant platform for meaningful dialogue and industry engagement.
“Fourteen years ago, ASIRT was founded with a simple vision: to help System Integrators survive, thrive, and grow together, ensuring that no member faces industry challenges alone. Over the years, we have learned that trust is our greatest asset and collaboration our greatest strength. When trust exists, opportunities multiply. When opportunities multiply, businesses grow. And when businesses grow, the entire ecosystem prospers. Synergy represents that spirit of shared growth and collective success,” said Shri Bharat Chheda, President, ASIRT.
The conclave was honored by the presence of Shri Navin Gupta, President of the Federation of All India Information Technology Associations (FAIITA), who shared a national perspective on the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of the Indian IT channel.
“The future of the IT channel lies in collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous adaptation to changing market dynamics. ASIRT Synergy has become an important platform that enables channel partners, technology providers, and industry leaders to come together, exchange ideas, and create new growth opportunities. Such initiatives strengthen not only local business communities but the broader Indian IT ecosystem,” said Shri Navin Gupta, President, FAIITA.
The second day commenced with an engaging presentation by Shri Kaustubh Kulkarni, Chairman of ASIRT, centered on a question every entrepreneur asks: “What’s in it for me?”
Focusing on practical business outcomes—revenue growth, profitability, capability enhancement, stronger relationships, and business sustainability—his session resonated strongly with participants.
“Every entrepreneur ultimately asks a simple question: what tangible value will this create for my business? Through Synergy 2026, we focused on practical outcomes, including higher revenues, better margins, stronger capabilities, and enduring business relationships. The positive response from participants validates Shri ASIRT’s commitment to delivering relevant and actionable industry engagement,” said Kaustubh Kulkarni, Chairman, ASIRT.
Media partners engaged extensively with sponsoring organizations and exhibitors, discussing technology trends, customer requirements, emerging business opportunities, and channel strategies. These conversations extended well beyond the formal sessions, creating valuable opportunities for thought leadership, brand visibility, and industry engagement.
