As someone working in tech, I'm thrilled to see this level of international collaboration. 13 country pavilions including Japan, Germany, and African nations shows we're thinking globally. Hope the partnerships formed here lead to real-world solutions for healthcare and agriculture in rural India.

While I appreciate the grand vision, I hope this isn't just another jumbo event. The real test is whether these 600 startups get the sustained support they need after the expo ends. We need follow-through on policy and funding, not just a 5-day show. Fingers crossed for tangible outcomes.

Bharat Mandapam is becoming India's premier venue for global events! From G20 to now this AI Expo. Proud moment. The inclusion of startups building "population-scale solutions" is key. Our strength is solving for scale - hope we see AI tools for education in regional languages.

Interesting mix of countries - from tech giants like the UK and Germany to partners like Tajikistan and Serbia. Shows India's diversified diplomatic outreach in tech. The 3250 speakers is a massive number! Hope the sessions are streamed online for those who can't attend in person.

My cousin's startup is exhibiting! They've built an AI tool for small farmers. 🚜 Events like this give such innovators a platform they could only dream of before. 2.5 lakh visitors expected - that's the power of India's market and talent pool. Jai Hind!
