#DigitalNativesEComSummit
Prominent Thought-Leaders
The next wave of global enterprise innovation is being defined not in the boardrooms of legacy organisations, but in the war‐rooms of digital natives - companies born in the cloud, architected on data, and scaled through AI. At the same time, e-commerce is evolving from a channel to a core business model for many of these companies, underpinning how digital natives go to market, scale and engage customers. With India hosting one of the fastest-growing startup ecosystems in the world (valued at over US $136 billion) and a rapidly expanding online commerce market, Bengaluru stands at the centre of this transformation.
The Digital Natives and E-commerce Summit 2026 is envisioned as a premier global forum for enterprises born in the digital era - and those redefining how commerce, customer interfaces, logistics, data and AI integrate. Designed to convene unicorns, cloud-native enterprises, high-growth digital startups, e-commerce platforms and their ecosystem partners, the Summit will take place in Bengaluru, India’s undisputed tech capital, in March 2026.
The Summit will explore this new paradigm by focusing on three thematic pillars (with e-commerce and digital native business models running through each):
Digital natives and e-commerce platforms are no longer experimenting with pilots, but embedding AI into workflows, product experience, merchandising, logistics and decision-making at scale - while also grappling with governance, fairness, and emerging regulation.
Examining how serverless computing, multi-cloud, distributed architecture and commerce-centric platforms are reshaping operational efficiency, resilience, cost models and the speed to market for digital-first commerce firms.
How fintech, embedded payments, D2C (direct-to-consumer) models, marketplaces and cross-border commerce are driving next-level scale.
The Digital Natives and E-commerce Summit 2026 is not just a conference—it is a platform to set the agenda for the next decade of enterprise technology and commerce. It will bring together leaders who are building the future today, in a country and region that has become the epicentre of digital-native and e-commerce innovation worldwide.
