Future-focused. Innovation-driven.
Where India's industry and academia build what's next.
MIT India presents its flagship summit, IFS 2026.
This event is designed to bridge the gap between industry and academia through structured collaboration, innovation, and meaningful dialogue in Mumbai.
Let's shape the future of IFS 2026, together.
Gain insights from top industry experts as they share real-world perspectives, emerging trends, and actionable strategies shaping the future of industry and academia.
80 student teams compete in a high-energy hackathon, with 16 finalists selected to showcase their innovations at the Mumbai event on June 20 — highlighting breakthrough ideas ready for real-world application.
In a Shark Tank-style arena, startups pitch their ideas to a panel of industry experts, angel investors, and venture capitalists — unlocking opportunities for funding, partnerships, and strategic growth.
Engage in focused, closed-door discussions with industry and academic leaders to exchange ideas, address challenges, and explore collaborative solutions.
A working draft of the day. Final agenda will be circulated alongside the official invitation.
From HR Synergy in Pune to IIM in Hyderabad — every MIT India summit has built the room that IFS 2026 is now bringing to Mumbai.
Here's what those rooms looked like.

Contact us →IFS 2026 is by invitation across four tracks — HR/CHRO delegates, hackathon teams, pitching startups, and panel speakers. Email crpc@mitindia.com with your category and we'll route you to the right registration form.
Every submission is reviewed by the CRPC programming team. Delegates are confirmed based on role and company fit. Pitching startups are screened on traction, market and team. Hackathon teams qualify through a pre-event challenge round. Confirmations go out within 5 working days of submission.
IFS 2026 runs from 09:00 AM to 07:30 PM IST on Saturday, 20 June 2026 in Mumbai. Final venue is being confirmed and will be communicated to all confirmed delegates at least 14 days before the event, along with full agenda, parking and access details.
IFS 2026 is by invitation. There is no fee for confirmed delegates. Travel and stay are not covered, but our team can share recommended hotels and connect you with transport partners on request.
Each segment runs once, and the full-day format is intentional — most of the value comes from cross-track conversation in the hallways and over lunch. We recommend planning for the full day.
We have a small number of Title, Industry, Knowledge and Media partner slots available. Drop a note to crpc@mitindia.com with "IFS 2026 Partnership" in the subject and our team will share the deck and pricing.
