PanIIT Hyderabad Summit 2026 held

Hyderabad: A full-day, power-packed PanIIT Hyderabad Summit 2026, bringing together national leaders in technology, governance and industry, was held here recently. More than 250 participants attended the summit. The event was organised by PanIIT Alumni India, the umbrella organisation representing more than five lakh IIT alumni. Etela Rajender, MP, inaugurated the summit. He said the IIT ecosystem is helping spread high-quality science and technology education across India. Collaboration among ecosystem players and research and development institutions will further strengthen the innovation landscape, he noted. He said Indian talent in science and technology enjoys global demand, and Indians have immensely contributed to the tremendous technological growth of the United States of America, which is known for its technological superiority. However, he observed that the same country is now trying to dominate others in certain spheres. Addressing the IIT talent pool assembled at the summit, he asked, “Why should we not use the same talent and power to make India even stronger?”
