As part of their academic and industry exposure visit, a group of 34 B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) students from Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU) attended the AI Summit 2026, held in New Delhi from 16th to 20th February 2026. The visit provided students with an opportunity to closely observe the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence and related technologies through interactive sessions and large-scale industry exhibitions.
During the summit, students explored a diverse range of exhibition stalls featuring innovations by leading technology companies, startups, and research organizations. The exhibition area served as a practical learning platform where students could interact directly with developers, entrepreneurs, and industry experts, gaining insights into how AI solutions are designed, deployed, and scaled in real-world environments.
One of the major highlights of the visit was the interaction with an alumni-led startup showcased at the summit. Mr. Durgesh Satyam, an alumnus of SMVDU CSE Deptt., presented his venture Supista, which demonstrated how Artificial Intelligence can be effectively used to automate complete business workflows.
