Sponsorship & CSR

Put your company in front of the people who buy AI in Kolkata.

Our rules for sponsors

Why the room stays worth sponsoring.

People listen to us because we are independent. These four rules keep it that way, and that is what keeps the room valuable to sponsors.

Visibility, not controlSponsors get recognition and a seat in the room. They never get control over our research, recommendations or editorial choices.
Clearly labelledEvery sponsored session and piece of sponsored content says so.
DisclosedWe name every sponsor and CSR partner in public.
Vendor-neutralCompeting companies take part side by side. The platform belongs to the community, not to any one vendor.
