Corporate Presentations & Tech Spotlights
Bringing added depth to the summit, leading tech brands delivered impactful presentations focused on innovation, market trends, and channel opportunities.
AMD’s Syed Mansoor Ali, Field Application Engineer, highlighted the growing demand for high-performance computing and shared insights on how partners can tap into emerging GPU/CPU-driven opportunities across AI and enterprise workloads.
In his presentation, Syed Mansoor Ali stated, “I’m proud to share that five out of the world’s top ten supercomputers are powered by AMD — including the fastest two, El Capitan and Frontier. Even India’s next-generation supercomputer is being built on AMD technology. This is the power and performance AMD brings to the enterprise world. Today, the best IT companies rely on AMD for their data centers and end-client portfolios. Our solutions offer unmatched advantages, especially in data center consolidation — delivering a 7:1 refresh ratio, which enables enterprises to modernize their infrastructure and prepare for the demands of AI and next-gen computing. From data centers to embedded PCs, AMD is truly at the core of innovation.”
Jesuraja Nadar, DGM – Pre Sales at TP-Link, presented a deep dive into intelligent surveillance, advanced networking, and the expanding scope of IoT infrastructure — showcasing how partners can align with the future of smart connectivity.
“Everyone knows TP-Link for networking, but we’re now making strong strides in surveillance as well,” he said. “With our Omada Central platform, you can manage access points, switches, and cameras from a single interface — ideal for smart cities and large-scale deployments. Even in remote areas without power, our solar-powered solutions ensure uninterrupted performance.”
Spotlight on Cutting-edge Innovations
A major highlight of the summit was the vibrant Tech Showcase Zone, where leading brands showcased their latest products. The exhibit floor buzzed with interaction, demos, and tech conversations — giving partners direct access to insights that will shape their next phase of growth.
Leading brands like Micron, Seagate, Securenet, Kaspersky, Dell Technologies, Tally Solutions, and TP-Link showcased breakthrough solutions in storage, security, networking, and enterprise tech — offering partners a firsthand look at innovations shaping the future of IT.
Exclusive Fireside Chat on ‘Make in India’ in the AI Era
One of the most compelling segments of the evening was the exclusive Fireside Chat, where Rajeev Ranjan, Editor & Publisher of Digital Terminal, sat down with Virender Singh, CEO of Digital Live Solutions Limited, for a powerful conversation on the theme “Make in India Initiative in the Era of AI.” The discussion offered deep insights into how India’s manufacturing ecosystem is evolving with AI-driven technologies.
Mr. Virender Singh remarked, “We’ve always supported the Make in India vision, but real manufacturing faces tough ground realities. MSMEs like ours don’t have access to component factories, fabs, or large-scale resources. One small policy change — without proper consultation — can disrupt everything. We’re investing our own hard-earned money, creating jobs, and contributing to Digital India, Skill India, and economic growth. What we need is informed policymaking, industry representation, and better coordination between government departments. With the right support, MSMEs can truly drive India’s manufacturing future.”
Motivational Session
Shiv Shankar Singh, Managing Director of Securenet, delivered an inspiring keynote that deeply resonated with the audience. Drawing from personal experiences and industry perspectives, he emphasized the importance of resilience, reinvention, and a growth mindset.
Reflecting on India’s digital journey and the role of technology leaders in nation-building, he remarked, “We are proud to be driving India’s digital infrastructure revolution — from strengthening rural connectivity to enabling smart cities. But true success doesn’t come from standing still. It comes from constant evolution. Innovation, adoption, and reinvention — that’s the real growth formula. Let’s inspire one another and shape the future of our nation together.”
