Pharma Now Launches India's Biggest Pharma IT Summit - Pharma AI & Data Congress on 3rd June 2026

MUMBAI, May 2026 — Pharma Now, in collaboration with Yellow Hive, has announced the launch of India's biggest pharma IT summit, Pharma AI & Data Congress 2026, a full-day conference for senior pharma IT leaders, to be held on 3rd June 2026 at the Westin Mumbai Garden City, Goregaon, Mumbai.

India's pharmaceutical industry is navigating the most demanding regulatory environment in a generation. In just three years, seven major frameworks have landed: GAMP 5 Second Edition, EU NIS2, the ISPE GAMP AI Guide, FDA Computer Software Assurance (CSA) Final Guidance, EU Annex 22 on AI, the EU AI Act, and India's own Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA). Every pharma CIO and CDO must now answer the same question: how do you deploy AI at scale without breaking compliance?

To address this, Pharma Now and Yellow Hive have launched the Pharma AI & Data Congress 2026 — India's first dedicated platform for pharma AI strategy, data governance, and intelligent automation. The Congress is part of the GPACTS 2026 series and serves as City Conference #1. It is purpose-built for the regulated pharmaceutical environment, with every session designed for pharma IT leadership, not a generic tech audience.

Twelve of India's top-20 pharmaceutical companies — including Sun Pharma, Cipla, Lupin, and Alkem Laboratories — are headquartered in Mumbai. This is where India's pharma AI strategy is shaped and where enterprise data decisions are made. Bringing the conversation here is a deliberate choice.

The Congress runs from 9AM to 7PM across three acts. The morning covers enterprise AI strategy, a regulatory deep-dive on the ISPE GAMP AI Guide, a panel on data governance in regulated environments, and the CIO Meets QA Head session. After a curated networking lunch, the afternoon features four closed-door leadership roundtables covering AI validation, data governance, cloud GxP security, and enterprise AI strategy — followed by practitioner stories on predictive quality, AI in drug discovery, and RPA in supply chain. The day closes with a 2030 Vision Keynote and cocktail networking reception.

Attendance is curated, not crowded. The Congress targets 130+ senior pharma IT leaders, with a minimum 60% pharma end-users and 25% C-Suite and VP representation. Roles include CIO, CDO, CISO, Head of AI & Data, and IT Directors from India's leading pharma companies. It is invitation-only.

The Leadership Perspective

"This Congress will reshape how India's pharma IT leadership approaches AI deployment under regulation. We are bringing together the CIOs, CDOs, and compliance heads who actually make these decisions — in one room, with unfiltered peer intelligence from your peers. The insights you'll take back will translate directly into boardroom strategy."

— Ravindra Warang, Editor-in-Chief, Pharma Now

Every delegate leaves with a 2030 Pharma IT Framework, a practical GAMP AI Guide readiness checklist, candid peer intelligence from India's top pharma CIOs, a prioritised 90-day action list, and the post-event GPACTS Insights Report — reference material that stays relevant all year.

Early bird passes are available at ₹4,990 until 20th May 2026. Standard registration is ₹6,990 from 21st May. CXO and VP delegates may qualify for complimentary access by nomination.
