Mumbai-based non-profit organisation Wadhwani AI on Tuesday said it will be showcasing nine deployed artificial intelligence (AI) solutions across healthcare, agriculture, and education at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 that will take place from February 16-20 in New Delhi.
The summit is expected to bring together policymakers, global AI leaders, industry experts and development institutions to discuss the future direction of AI in India and other emerging economies.
AI solutions within public sector
Wadhwani AI’s work in embedding AI tools within public systems has been recognised in the Economic Survey of India 2025–26, tabled in the parliament by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
The survey cited the organisation’s healthcare solutions deployed in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, highlighting the increasing use of AI in government-led public services.
The organisation focuses on building AI solutions designed for real-world constraints and last-mile delivery. As of January 2026, its tools have reached more than 190 million people across healthcare, agriculture and education.

Despite a challenging global business environment and geopolitical turmoil, MNCs are a major part of the story of Corporate India. As the country moves closer to its Viksit Bharat goal, these multinationals are playing an increasingly pivotal role in shaping that future. Fortune India’s second edition of the MNC 500 list offers a comprehensive look at the performance of the 500 largest multinationals in India. The issue also decodes Budget 2026, highlighting the government’s long-term vision to sustain the economic momentum.
In healthcare, Wadhwani AI has developed an AI-powered clinical decision support system integrated with eSanjeevani, and a real-time disease surveillance tool used by the National Centre for Disease Control that scans over 35,000 media sources in multiple languages. It has also rolled out screening tools for tuberculosis and other diseases to support early detection within the public health system.
Population scale and last-mile impact
At the AI Impact Summit, Wadhwani AI will showcase nine deployed AI solutions through an experience-led booth focused on population-scale and last-mile impact. There will also be a panel discussion on multi-stakeholder collaboration for AI adoption in the Global South on February 17, organised by the Centre for Responsible AI at IIT Madras along with Wadhwani AI.
In addition, it will host a session titled “Small AI for Big Impact” on February 20, focusing on responsible and scalable AI deployment for social impact. Speakers at the session include Zameer Brey of the Gates Foundation, Wassim Hamidouche from Microsoft AI for Good Lab, and Illango Patchamuthu of the World Bank Group.
