Our theme for Nasscom Design and Engineering Summit 2026

The Next Engineering Shift Isn’t Automated. It’s AI-Native.

The engineering industry stands at a defining inflection point.

For decades, organizations have focused on using technology to automate engineering tasks, improve productivity and optimize development cycles. Today, a more profound transformation is underway. AI is no longer an augmentation layer. It is becoming native to how engineering systems operate, collaborate and evolve.

AI-native engineering represents a shift from optimizing workflows to reimagining them entirely. It means building products, systems and operations that can reason, learn, adapt and continuously improve. It means empowering engineers with intelligent agents that collaborate across the engineering lifecycle. And it means embedding intelligence into products from design through deployment.

Aligned to Nasscom’s theme, “The World Under Construction: The Decisions, Bets, and Breakthroughs Ahead,” Capgemini’s perspective focuses on helping organizations navigate this transition confidently and responsibly.

Through our participation at Nasscom Design and Engineering Summit 2026, we will showcase how AI-native engineering is already delivering real-world impact across product engineering, manufacturing, automotive, life sciences and next-generation software development. 

Experience Zone: AI-Native Engineering in Action

Booth

Capgemini’s Experience Zone will bring AI-native engineering to life through physical demonstrations, digital showcases, client success stories, and immersive conversations.

The Experience Zone will demonstrate how AI is transforming engineering disciplines across industries while enabling organizations to design, build, validate, and sustain products more intelligently.

Build compliant digital-health products faster using a proven, reusable software foundation for SaMD, connected devices, patient engagement and clinical collaboration solutions.

Stage session

Topic : Engineering in the Age of AI Agents
Format : Leaders Discussion
Time (tentative): 14:00hrs. – 14:25hrs.  
Moderator : Sudatta Kar, Vice President and Head of Engineering, Capgemini Engineering India 

1.  Rajesh Thempadiyil, Head – Digital Transformation in Manufacturing and Quality Processes, Dr Reddy’s Lab

2.  Sudha KV, Vice President – Solution Engineering, Dell Technologies

3.  Tina Dasgupta, Vice President and Head of Engineering

Session overview

AI agents are moving beyond supporting engineering teams to actively shaping how products are designed, tested, optimized, and manufactured.

This session will explore the emergence of agent-led engineering and examine the implications of human-machine collaboration across the engineering lifecycle. Leaders will discuss how intelligent agents can accelerate innovation, reduce time-to-market, improve product quality, and transform engineering operating models.

As AI agents increasingly reason, collaborate, and execute, organizations must prepare for a future where engineers and intelligent systems build together.
