Our Story

From Expertise in Connection to National Impact

The Journey: Leveraging Experience for a National Purpose

The National AI Research Council doesn't just emerge; it evolves from the robust foundation of Confexco Events Pvt Ltd. With decades of unparalleled experience, Confexco has been a leader in bringing together industry titans, thought leaders, and innovators through large-scale, impactful conferences and strategic events across the US, Middle East, APAC, and notably, India. This rich history has endowed NAIRC with a unique asset: deep-seated industry connections, cultivated relationships, and a proven capability in managing complex, high-stakes initiatives.

This profound expertise and established network are now meticulously channeled into a singular, monumental national purpose: building and accelerating India's Artificial Intelligence research capabilities. Our transition from a promoter to the eventual formation of a dedicated company represents a natural, strategic progression. It’s about leveraging Confexco's proven efficiency in quick deployment and its strong existing industry relationships to rapidly identify partners and ensure immediate traction in establishing AI Research Labs across the country. This evolution embodies our unwavering commitment to utilizing existing strengths for the greater public good of India's technological future.
