Organizational lapses, patchy networks cloud AI Summit
Mint New Delhi
|February 17, 2026

Still, exhibitors remained hopeful of stronger footfall over the next four days, buoyed by the presence of Big Tech firms and some of the world’s largest technology companies, which they expect could drive business opportunities.
Amid tight security preparations ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s inauguration of the AI expo, thousands of visitors, exhibitors, foreign delegates and even VIP speakers were left stranded without access to basic necessities such as water or stuck in overcrowded hallways.
