Feb 20: Against the vibrant backdrop of the AI India Impact Summit, an intimate gathering unfolded in the heart of Old Delhi. On February 18, 2026, Women Inspiring Network (WIN), in collaboration with Goals House, hosted a closed-door lunch roundtable at the restored 19th-century haveli, Kathika Culture Centre.
Titled From India to the World: Shaping India’s AI Playbook, the invitation-only session brought together leaders across technology, policy, investment and culture. Designed in the signature style of Goals House, the gathering unfolded across three curated tables, beginning with keynote reflections and transitioning into candid, cross-sector conversations over lunch.
The roundtable featured distinguished participants including Anne Marie Engtoft Meldgaard, Tech Ambassador, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Denmark; Deepankar Sanwalka, Senior Partner, Grant Thornton LLP Bharat; Harita Gupta, Global Customer and Employee Experience Leader, Sutherland; Kanika Tekriwal, Co-founder & CEO, JetSetGo; Roma Datta Chobey, Managing Director, Google India; and Sarika Naik, Group Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer and Member of the Group Executive Committee, Capgemini.
They were joined by policymakers, investors, founders and organisation heads working across AI, public policy, design, education, sustainability, health and social innovation.
With its intimate and thoughtfully curated format, the dialogue remained open, practical and action-led where meaningful exchange mattered more than presentations.
India’s Inclusive AI Vision
As AI reshapes economies and societies worldwide, India is steadily carving out its own path one rooted in inclusion, affordability, indigenous knowledge systems and the strength of regional languages. This unique social and technical ecosystem is already driving innovation across multiple sectors.
Through this roundtable, WIN and Goals House explored a powerful question: Can India’s approach become a global blueprint for ethical and accessible AI? By convening diverse voices at a defining moment, the partners sparked conversations aimed at building lasting collaborations beyond theory.
Stuti Jalan, Founder, Women Inspiring Network, said:
“Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created a true AI magnum opus for India, and you can feel that momentum everywhere. AI is the future, and seeing young India participate with such energy and confidence made me incredibly proud. Through our WIN x Goals House gathering, we brought diverse leaders together to exchange ideas and shape an inclusive, responsible AI playbook — not just for India, but for the world.”
