GITEX GLOBAL, the world's largest technology and AI events network, will make its India debut with GITEX Ai India, to be held in April 2027 in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The event will be organised by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and KAOUN International in strategic partnership with the Government of Karnataka's Department of Electronics, Information Technology and Biotechnology, according to a release issued by the Karnataka Government.

The announcement was made at GITEX GLOBAL 2025 in Dubai, where the Indian tech community has consistently been one of the largest participating delegations, reflecting the strong and long-standing ties between Indian innovators and the GITEX ecosystem.

Speaking on the development, Priyank Kharge, Minister for E, IT & BT, and RDPR, Government of Karnataka, said, "Welcoming GITEX Ai India to Bengaluru is a proud moment for us."

While this is exciting, I hope the event benefits local SMEs and not just big corporates. Need more focus on making AI accessible to smaller businesses.

Good move, but traffic and infrastructure in Bengaluru need serious improvement before 2027. Hope the government works on this alongside event planning.
