This collaboration aligns ImagiNxt’s vision of creating a world-class, future-focused technology platform with MeitY Startup Hub’s national mandate to foster innovation across startups, deep tech and emerging digital technologies under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. Through this partnership, MeitY Startup Hub will play a key role in shaping ImagiNxt 2026’s startup-centric programming, policy dialogues and curated ecosystem engagements, enabling stronger participation from entrepreneurs, innovators and ecosystem stakeholders.
ImagiNxt 2026 will be held on 22–23 May 2026 at the Jio World Centre, and is being developed as a global convergence point where technology, enterprise, policy, science and creativity intersect.

Deepak Lamba, Founder and CEO of ImagiNxt, said, “India’s digital ambition will be realised by how effectively startups, policy and enterprise move together — at speed and at scale. Partnering with MeitY Startup Hub strengthens ImagiNxt’s role as a platform where founders are not only visible, but structurally connected to capital, markets, policymakers and global opportunities. This collaboration is focused on converting innovation intent into measurable outcomes for India’s technology future.”
Dr Panneerselvam Madanagopal, CEO of MeitY Startup Hub, added, “India’s digital growth relies on close collaboration between government, industry, startups and academia.

I look forward to contributing to ImagiNxt 2026 and to conversations centred on building scalable, inclusive and future-ready technology for India.”
The partnership highlights a shared belief that India’s next phase of economic and technological growth will be powered by startups, digital public infrastructure and enabling policy frameworks that support innovation at population scale.
