The Tech Expo was inaugurated by Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Additional Secretary (E&IT), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, and Chief Executive Officer of the India Semiconductor Mission, in the presence of Sudeep Shrivastava, Joint Secretary (E&IT), MeitY. Several distinguished leaders from academia, industry and technology institutions attended the inauguration, including Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairman of the Executive Committee at NAAC, Srikanth Chandrasekaran, Country Head of IEEE India, Debabrata Das, Director of IIIT Bangalore, and senior representatives from Aurigo Software Technologies, IIIT Bangalore and the SCI 2025 organising committee. Addressing the gathering, Sinha stressed the importance of developing indigenous capabilities in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence and quantum technologies to strengthen India’s position in the global technology landscape.

Running until December 13, 2025, the event brings together leading scientific, industrial and academic stakeholders shaping the future of computing in India. The Tech Expo features more than 180 exhibitors across two dedicated pavilions, showcasing compute hardware, chip design, sovereign technology platforms and India-led research and development initiatives. Prominent participants include VVDN, Kaynes, Dell Technologies, HPE, Intel, Fujitsu, DDN, BEL, ASRock Rack, L&T Vyoma, HCLTech and several MeitY-supported DLI startups and MSMEs, alongside academic institutions such as MIT.

The MeitY ChipIN Pavilion emerged as a key attraction, spotlighting more than 50 semiconductor and HPC startups, 15 MSMEs and 10 booths hosted by the MeitY Startup Hub. Startups working in compute infrastructure, quantum technologies, chip design, high-speed networking and cybersecurity are presenting solutions aligned with India’s self-reliance and deep-tech manufacturing goals. Additional sponsors for the event include AMD, AWS, Synopsys, Pasqal and KPTCL.

Conference sessions on Day Two featured keynote addresses by Ken Toyoda, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Fujitsu Research of India, Hiroshi Horii, Head of IBM Quantum Japan, and Cullen Bash, Vice President and Deputy Director at HPE USA. Key programme highlights included the ChipIN Conclave, sessions on Women in Technology across HPC, AI and quantum domains, the PARAM Shavak User Meet, and a series of workshops and panel discussions designed to strengthen collaboration between academia, startups and global HPC ecosystems.

Supercomputing India 2025 continues to support the objectives of the National Supercomputing Mission by accelerating the development of indigenous systems, advanced artificial intelligence, quantum research and semiconductor design. With high-performance computing playing a critical role in areas such as climate modelling, healthcare, space exploration, defence and energy systems, the event marks a significant milestone in India’s emergence as a global deep-tech leader.

Supercomputing India 2025 gathered further momentum on its second day with the official inauguration of the Tech Expo at the Manipal Institute of Technology, Yelahanka, Bengaluru, following a strong opening day for the five-day national computing event.
