From Hype to Impact:
Accelerating AI Excellence in Business

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing every facet of business and society. As one of the most transformative technologies of our era, its impact is evident in reshaped business models, smarter operations, and innovative solutions across industries. India, recognized globally as an emerging AI powerhouse, is home to thousands of startups, large enterprises, and world-class research institutions. Recent reports estimate India’s AI market will reach $7.8 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 32% over the next five years.
Yet, despite the excitement around AI, the journey from concept to impact remains complex and often opaque. Many organizations announce ambitious AI initiatives, but leaders struggle to distinguish between hype and genuine value creation. According to industry studies, only 10-15% of AI projects deliver measurable ROI, and less than a third of business leaders possess a clear framework for benchmarking success.
With billions being invested in AI but only a fraction delivering tangible results, it’s time for the conversation to move from hype to credible impact. The Financial Express AI Conference & Awards will set the standard, help businesses learn, and accelerate India’s path towards becoming a true AI-driven economy.
