Overview
Following the tremendous success of our inaugural edition in Bengaluru, the FUTURE OF AI IN DATA ANALYTICS SUMMIT (FAIDAS) has quickly emerged as one of India’s most credible and high-impact platforms focused on the real-world future of enterprise AI and data analytics. The Bengaluru edition delivered strong participation, powerful peer-to-peer engagement, and a highly curated leadership experience that set the benchmark for what the summit represents.
A defining highlight of the first edition was the announcement of the FAIDAS 50 Powerlist — a prestigious peer-curated recognition honouring India’s Top 50 Data and AI exponents and leaders. This milestone brought together the country’s most influential minds shaping the AI, data, and analytics landscape, and established the FUTURE OF AI IN DATA ANALYTICS SUMMIT as a platform not just for discussion, but for recognition, credibility, and industry-wide influence.
Now, on popular demand, the FUTURE OF AI IN DATA ANALYTICS SUMMIT (FAIDAS) comes to Hyderabad — a city that is rapidly expanding its global footprint through Global Capability Centers (GCCs), a thriving pharma and biotech ecosystem, and some of India’s fastest-growing enterprise innovation hubs. This edition will spotlight how the future of AI and data analytics is disrupting and redefining key sectors driving Hyderabad’s growth — from GCC transformation to AI-led innovation across life sciences, healthcare, technology, and other leading industries.
With a strong focus on scaling trusted AI in regulated and complex enterprise environments, the FUTURE OF AI IN DATA ANALYTICS SUMMIT will convene senior decision-makers, practitioners, and ecosystem leaders to explore actionable strategies, real enterprise case studies, and the frameworks required to operationalise AI responsibly and at scale.

Critical Sponsor Value Points –
Why Sponsor?
Engage buyers at the “data strategy to AI strategy” stage
Enterprises are realising AI outcomes are only as good as the data foundations behind them. Sponsoring FAIDAS positions you early, when leaders are deciding data platforms, governance models, and analytics operating structures.
Own the conversation on “Data Confidence” — the real gatekeeper of AI scale
Enterprises are moving from dashboards to decision intelligence, but only when data is reliable. This edition focuses on building quality, observability, lineage, and trust in AI-ready data pipelines—exactly where vendors get shortlisted.
Show measurable value: analytics-driven outcomes are easier to justify than “AI hype”
Data analytics delivers tangible ROI: faster decision cycles, better forecasting, cost reduction, risk reduction, and operational visibility—making your solutions easier for enterprises to fund and scale.
Position as a “governed scale partner” for regulated industries
Hyderabad’s GCC + pharma/biotech ecosystem demands analytics and AI that are audit-ready, explainable, and compliant. Sponsoring places you in the room where leaders evaluate validation, governance, and regulatory alignment.
Access the real buying committee for enterprise data & analytics transformation
FAIDAS brings decision-makers who influence selection across data platforms, analytics stacks, AI security, and governance—including CIOs, CDOs, CAIOs, CISOs, risk and validation leaders.
