MLDS 2027 · Machine Learning Developers Summit

The 9th edition of India's biggest conference aimed squarely at AI developers rather than AI buyers: 3,000+ practitioners, 100+ speakers, two days of deep technical sessions and hands-on workshops on agentic systems, generative AI, MLOps and AI infrastructure. Unlike the CXO summits that fill the Indian calendar, MLDS is built around people who ship models, which makes it a good place for a technical founder to pressure-test architecture decisions and to meet the engineers you would actually want to hire. The AI Awards India run alongside it and have a startup category worth entering. Bengaluru gets the first leg; Hyderabad repeats it a week later.
