KOGO AI

National Technology Day is a celebration of India’s grit, ideas, and technological innovation. It’s startups that are reimagining how this country builds, scales, and leads—and at KOGO, we’re proud to be part of that movement. As one of the world’s leading AI Agentic companies, we’re pioneering India’s first full-stack Private AI Agentic Infrastructure—built to run behind the firewall, where data stays sovereign and intelligence stays local.

From powering frontline healthcare to transforming defense and BFSI, our AI agents are already driving change where it matters most. For a truly Atmanirbhar Bharat, we don’t just need digital innovation—we need trusted, homegrown intelligence. That’s what we’re building.

Innovation today is inseparable from responsibility. Empowering a sustainable tomorrow begins with building technology that advances and also endures. In cybersecurity, this means designing systems that are resilient by default, not patched after the fact. In Traditional, software only security is no longer enough, especially in high risk environments like data centers and 5G networks. These systems are increasingly targeted by sophisticated, hardware level attacks. Innovation will always push boundaries. It's our responsibility to ensure those boundaries are reinforced with integrity, privacy, and resilience. Empowering the future means securing it first.

Pantherun Technologies

Tiffany Chan, Co-Founder and COO, Pantherun Technologies: Technology has evolved rapidly—from dial-up internet to intelligent, self-learning systems. The AI market alone is projected to hit $244 billion by 2025, growing over 300% by 2030. But what’s the soul of this transformation? It’s not just circuits or code—it’s purpose-driven innovation. Whether curing diseases with data or building thinking machines, tech’s essence lies in solving real-world problems. And as we build, we must also protect. Cybersecurity isn’t just defense—it’s the silent enabler of progress, ensuring that innovation not only survives but thrives in a connected, intelligent world.

SiMa.ai

We’re entering a new era driven by AIpowering everything from autonomous cars to smart healthcare. But with greater capability comes greater responsibility. High energy use and latency can limit AI’s potential, especially in real-time systems like drones or robotics. The answer lies in edge processing bringing intelligence closer to where data is generated. It’s faster, greener, and more efficient. India’s innovators are ready. Now we must build AI systems that are not just smart, but sustainable designed for speed, efficiency, and a better planet. That’s how we create a future that’s truly intelligent and balanced.

ZYOD

The apparel industry is redefining its traditional methods of production to meet the demands of modern consumers from conceptualisation to delivery. The adoption of fabric innovations, 3D visualization tools, and garment pattern software enables faster sampling and crafting of the final product, while ensuring both precision and creativity. While the industry is adopting these technologies, it faces challenges of balancing speed, ethical fabric sourcing, sustainability, and affordability.

However, ZYOD addresses this complex demand by leveraging AI-powered forecasting to anticipate emerging trends and streamline on-demand production. This technology-driven approach not only ensures faster turnaround and reduced waste but also enhances transparency across the supply chain. By integrating cutting-edge technology throughout the manufacturing process, ZYOD also offers flexible Minimum Order Quantity (MOQs) to reduce inventory waste and drive progress towards a more sustainable future.
