The Government of India recently unveiled the logo of the India-AI Impact Summit 2026, set to take place on February 19–20 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.

The logo for the Summit was selected through the Logo Design Contest, hosted on the MyGov platform from May 28 to June 12 2025. The final entries were reviewed by the Emerging Technologies team under MeitY, who undertook the process of winner selection. MyGov received a total of 599 entries, out of which the winning design was submitted by Shri Ajith P. Suresh.

The winning design reflects India’s ambition to lead the global movement on responsible AI innovation for humanity’s greater good. At its centre is the Ashoka Chakra, symbolizing ethical governance, justice, and the Constitutional values that anchor India’s digital journey.

He said, “I designed the first version of the logo in just 23 hours, then kept refining it to embody the ethics of AI—its radiant flares symbolizing India’s vision extending to the world.”

Radiating outward, neural network flares represent AI’s transformative power, bridging divides across languages, sectors, industries, and geographies to drive inclusive progress.

Symbolism embedded in the logo represents a blend of tradition (Ashoka Chakra), innovation (neural network flares), diversity (color gradient), and clarity (typography), designed to communicate the vision and values of the Summit.

The vibrant gradient sweeping across the logo symbolizes innovation and inclusivity, reflecting the my diverse industries, cultures, and communities that are part of the AI revolution. This spectrum of colors is rooted in the values symbolized by the Ashoka Chakra.

Complementing this iconography, the clean and modern typography lends clarity and trust, ensuring strong recall and relevance across digital and print platforms

The visual identity seamlessly unites tradition with modernity, ethics with innovation, and India’s national identity with its global aspirations, capturing the spirit of the India-AI Impact Summit 2026. Hosted by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the global platform is set to showcase the transformative role of AI in enabling inclusive development, sustainability, and fostering equitable progress. The Summit charts a path where AI serves humanity, advances inclusive growth, fosters social development, and promotes innovations that protect the planet.
