TechSparks redefined — India’s first multi-track convergence festival for tech, culture, and deep innovation. Three days. Eight tracks. One city that never stops building.
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.
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.
All eight tracks run in parallel — curate your own TechSparks.
Selected from open applications across all 8 tracks. New speakers announced monthly through July 2026. Every speaker earns their stage.
TechSparks 2026 doesn’t happen in Bengaluru — it happens because of it.
Every square foot of The LaLiT Ashok transformed into six immersive festival zones — from the grand ballroom to the lakeside lawns.
No boring panels. Every format is designed for maximum engagement, audience interaction, and content that lives forever beyond the event.
Zero paper. Zero queues. Zero friction. Every touchpoint is powered by technology that makes the experience seamless.
