At an event in New Delhi, Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, Hon’ble Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Government of India, today unveiled “Scale Without Boundaries” as the official theme for the 10th edition of India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026, scheduled to be held from 7-10 October 2026 at Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, New Delhi.
The 10th edition theme, “Scale Without Boundaries,” captures a future where innovation is no longer constrained by geography, industries or technologies. It reflects a world where trusted digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, next-generation connectivity and cross-border collaboration enable ideas developed anywhere to create impact everywhere. Having demonstrated how technology can transform a nation at unprecedented scale, India is now helping shape globally interoperable, secure and inclusive digital ecosystems.
Organised by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications, Government of India and the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), the landmark 10th edition of IMC is expected to attract over 1.5 lac attendees, feature more than 300 exhibitors and partners from over 100 countries, and showcase over 1,500 technology use cases, further strengthening its position as Asia’s largest digital technology forum.
IMC 2026 will showcase innovations across Connectivity (5G & 6G), Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, Electronics Manufacturing, Quantum Computing, Cybersecurity, Satellite Communications, DeepTech, CleanTech, Industry 4.0 and Enterprise Transformation along with new emerging verticals such as Smart Mobility, Stadium Experiences, Industrial Automation and Transport Tech. The event will bring together governments, industry leaders, startups, investors, academia and technology pioneers to accelerate digital transformation and shape next-gen trusted, scalable digital ecosystems.
Built around four strategic pillars, SRISHTI (Building the Future), SAMVARDHAN (Fueling Growth), SASHAKT (Expanding Opportunities) and SURAKSHA (Strengthening Trust), the theme reflects IMC’s vision of enabling innovation that scales across countries, industries, enterprises and communities while remaining secure, inclusive and sustainable.
On the occasion, Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Government of India, said: “When technology reaches every citizen, it creates opportunity, and when opportunity reaches every citizen, transformation becomes inevitable. Mobile phones are today in the hands of 1.33 billion people, data prices have fallen from INR 287 per GB to around INR 8 per GB. That is democratisation. That is Antyodaya. As we lay the foundation stone of the next chapter, we must examine how innovations, technology and ideas from India can cross borders and go across the world. Technology is best when it actually reaches every single citizen and benefits them. Today, India has capabilities in the technologies we build, the standards we shape and the solutions we provide for the world. That is what today’s theme, ‘Scale Without Boundaries’, embodies. It reflects the capability of all of you in this room, working together with the Government of India to build solutions not only for every citizen of this country, but for the globe. With 6G, I firmly believe we will combine the physical, the digital and intelligence into one seamless ecosystem. Through the Bharat 6G Alliance and our work on global standards, India is preparing to contribute at a level that was never possible before. At the same time, we are building a strong manufacturing ecosystem through the PLI scheme and the country’s first Telecom Manufacturing Zone in Gwalior. India succeeds only when all of you succeed and together, with our Prime Minister’s vision, the telecom ministry and the industry, we are working towards one goal – Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat 2047.”
