About the Event

Engineer the future with us


In a world where technology evolves exponentially, we face a profound question: Are we building systems that merely advance capabilities, or ones that fundamentally transform how innovation itself happens? The 17th Edition of the nasscom Design & Engineering Summit confronts this distinction head-on, bringing together industry leaders, global visionaries, disruptors, and innovators who are architecting the very systems that will shape and engineer our future.

While 2024 explored AI integration foundations, 2025 examines the critical shift toward self-evolving intelligence, products that think, systems that learn, and ecosystems that adapt autonomously. As India's engineering R&D impact prepares to double by 2030, we're convening those who understand that true leadership means engineering with foresight.

Join fellow pioneers in reimagining the relationship between human ingenuity and technological capability. In an increasingly fragmented world, this summit isn't about predicting the future, it's about designing the frameworks that will shape it.

Intelligence Everywhere

Products are no longer passive—they are becoming intelligent systems with built-in autonomy, real-time sensing, and software-defined behavior. This pillar explores how engineering teams are embedding AI-native workflows, decision loops, and continuous learning into physical products across sectors like mobility, medtech, compute, and aerospace.

  • AI-native engineering and generative workflows
  • Embedded autonomy and software-defined systems
  • Real-time responsiveness at the edge
  • GenAI’s impact on engineering roles and development
  • Bio-integrated and system-aware product design

Core Reinvented

High-performance physical products demand more than software—they require excellence in mechanical integrity, material science, structural optimization, and manufacturability. This pillar explores how engineering leaders are modernizing the fundamentals—turning thermal, structural, and propulsion challenges into scalable, real-world innovations.

  • Thermal systems and cooling efficiency
  • Lightweight structures and structural durability
  • Propulsion, packaging, and mechanical optimization
  • Modular product architecture
  • DeepTech productization and manufacturability

Sovereign Systems at Scale

As sustainability and sovereignty rise on national agendas, the next leap in engineering lies in system-wide innovation—building intelligent infrastructure, emission-aware factories, and national R&D ecosystems. This pillar explores how organizations and governments are engineering future-ready infrastructure, climate tech, and space systems that serve both market and mission.

  • Circular and zero-waste engineering systems
  • Self-healing grids and clean hydrogen scale-up
  • Sovereign infrastructure, IP strategy, and innovation capital
  • Moonshot R&D: quantum, climate, and space
  • National-scale collaboration and execution platforms
