India is currently at the center of global attention as it hosts the AI Impact Summit, described as the 'Maha Kumbh' of artificial intelligence. This five-day event, with participation from world leaders, startups, and researchers, is being closely monitored globally, Union Minister Jitin Prasada announced.

The summit commenced on February 16 and is set to run until February 20, drawing a plethora of international delegates, including ministers and tech pioneers.
