"India's cloud and AI infrastructure community is one of the most dynamic and technically sophisticated in the world," said Laurent Gil, Co-Founder and President of Cast AI, the leading Kubernetes automation platform. "CLOUDxAI brings together the practitioners who are actually building and operating these systems at scale. We're excited to share how autonomous infrastructure is evolving and learn from the incredible engineering talent driving innovation across India's tech ecosystem."

Three Tracks, Zero Vendor Pitches CLOUDxAI's strict no-vendor-pitch policy ensured every session delivered actionable technical content: * Cloud-Native AI & LLMOps - deploying and managing large language models on Kubernetes, GPU scheduling, inference cost optimization * Multi-Agent Orchestration - coordinating independent AI agents across distributed cloud environments * Self-Healing Infrastructure - AI-driven auto-scaling, auto-remediation, and predictive operations * Expert Influencer Talks - dedicated sessions and thought leadership delivered by top tech voices Abhishek Veeramalla, Hitesh Choudhary, Ram Iyengar, and Shubham Londhe.

Sponsors included AWS, Cast AI, KodeKloud, CognitivTrust, and Nudgebee. Notable Quotes "The conversations in the hallways were as intense as the ones on stage. Engineers from competing companies debugging multi-agent orchestration patterns together on a whiteboard - that's exactly the kind of practitioner-first environment we at Cast AI wanted to create with CLOUDxAI," said Kunal Das, Cast AI, Organizer, CLOUDxAI 2026.
