Home · Why This Congress

Pharma wants AI.
We built the room where it gets solved.

Every pharma CIO in India is being asked the same thing by their board: how much AI are we actually running — and can we defend it in an inspection? There is no credible room yet in which that question gets answered honestly.

This Congress is that room. 130+ senior pharma IT leaders. One room. No trade show noise. Just CIOs, CDOs, and practitioners making real decisions — with the vendors who earned their seat at the table.

Why

Pharma wants AI.
Compliance holds it back.

Seven regulations land in the next 12 months. The industry needs a room where the tough questions — validation, accountability, documentation — get answered by expert practitioners, not consultants.

How

Curated.
Not crowded.

Minimum 60% pharma end-users. No open registration. Every delegate is a decision-maker — CIO, CDO, VP Digital, or practitioner. Vendors don't present to a crowd. They sit across the table from the people signing the POs.

What

One day.
Three acts.

09:00–18:30 at a 5-star Mumbai venue. A keynote arc that builds from strategy to execution. Four closed CXO roundtables. Three practitioner case studies. An evening reception where the real conversations start — and sponsor relationships are made.

Why Mumbai first

India's pharma HQ
is in one city.

Sun Pharma. Cipla. Lupin. Alkem. Piramal. Glenmark. Wockhardt. Abbott India. Pfizer India. Sanofi India.

Their IT and data leadership doesn't need to fly in. They're already here.

No other city in India concentrates this many pharma decision-makers in a single corridor — which means your one day of sponsorship activation reaches an audience it would take months of travel to replicate.

We chose Goregaon East because every major pharma HQ is within a 30-minute drive.
