According to Convergence India statistics, India’s internet economy will surpass $250 billion by year-end. Our country is anticipated to reach 84 billion internet video minutes per month by 2021, with total unique subscribers reaching 955 million by 2020. Launched in 1992, Convergence India has come a long way since it was conceptualized. It has turned into a mega expo showcasing the convergence of technologies in the fields of communications, digital Broadcast, IoT, AR, VR, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, embedded technology, mobile, gaming, and entertainment.

The expo instigates a confluence of the latest technological innovations under one roof, thus, posing as a common ground for industry leaders and influencers to network and brainstorm on the latest trends and disruptions impacting various industry verticals. This year, the expo comes with the theme, ‘Digital India - Connecting the Unconnected,’ thus creating a platform for players to promote Indian brands, and extend the impact of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’ campaigns globally. The three-day event will provide an opportunity for professionals, digital innovators, international businesses and industry leaders to interact and increase business opportunities.
