    NoCeiling Summit 2025

    CXXO NoCeiling Summit 2025, hosted in partnership with TiECon Delhi, brought together India’s leading women founders, investors, and technologists driving the country’s DeepTech and AI revolution. The day opened with two powerful CXXO Masterclasses by Monisha Banerjee (Anudip Foundation) and Pragya Misra (OpenAI), setting the tone for conversations on leadership, disruption, and scaling innovation responsibly. In her keynote, Vani Kola, Managing Director at Kalaari Capital, urged women to “Dare to Disrupt” — to dream boldly and build fearlessly, setting the spirit for what followed.

    Throughout the day, thought-provoking sessions explored India’s DeepTech ambitions and the pivotal role of women in shaping them. Anna Roy (NITI Aayog) spoke about India’s pursuit of technological sovereignty, while Vikram Chopra (CARS24), Rucha Nanavati (Mahindra & Mahindra), and Rajashree R (Tech Mahindra) shared perspectives on accelerating AI adoption across sectors. In an exclusive address, Radha Basu (iMerit) emphasized inclusion in building a globally competitive AI workforce, while Kalika Bali (Microsoft Research) and Niyati Chhaya (Hyperbots) discussed bridging divides to create technology that works for everyone.

    The Startup Panel spotlighted founders shaping India’s DeepTech frontier — Samhita R (Resilience AI), Nikkitha Shanker (SuperBryn), and Rimjhim Agrawal (BrainSightAI) — in a conversation moderated by Jayraj Bharat Patel of Kalaari Capital. The CXXO Disruptors 2025 Awards, presented by Swati Bhargava (CashKaro), celebrated visionary women building transformative companies. Closing the day, Paroma Chatterjee (Revolut India) spoke on how technology is redefining finance, followed by the launch of Wired for Impact: Women in Ind(AI) by Neha Bagaria (HerKey). Every dialogue at the Summit echoed a shared belief — women are not just part of India’s innovation story; they are leading it.
