The Big Idea

Not a conference.
A convergence.

TechSparks 2026 is India’s answer to what a tech festival can be — rigorous, cultural, and unapologetically Bengaluru.

For 16 years, TechSparks has been the heartbeat of India’s startup ecosystem. In 2026, we make a structural leap. Eight thematic tracks run simultaneously across The LaLiT Ashok’s 59,000 sq ft of event space. Every attendee curates their own experience — across keynotes, workshops, pitches, mentors, and after-hours culture showcases.

Garden City Silicon Valley of India Startup Capital ISRO’s Backyard Namma Bengaluru Craft & Culture

The format is new.
The mission is the same.

Multi-track programming means you choose your depth. A founder can start their morning in the Founder’s Lab, take a workshop on AI infrastructure, catch a fireside on climate tech, and end the day watching the startup pitch finale — all on the same campus.

Badge-tiered access, reservation-based sessions, mentor hours, and night programming transform a conference into a full festival. This is what the Indian tech ecosystem deserves.
