India AI Summit Faces Theft And Misrepresentation

The India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi (Feb. 16–20) was marred by allegations after a Bengaluru startup founder, Dhananjay Yadav, said AI wearables were stolen during a security lockdown before Prime Minister Modi's visit. Organizers and exhibitors faced further scrutiny after several groups displayed a Unitree Go2 robot dog while implying domestic development, prompting exhibitor removals and public backlash.
