Okta Developer Connect Bengaluru

For the first time, Indian founders have access to the same frontier AI tools on day one as anyone in the Valley. The question is no longer access; it’s what you build, how you ship, and how you win. Join Lightspeed and OpenAI for a morning with the founders, operators, and investors shaping the next generation of AI-native companies across India and Asia-Pacific. We’ll unpack what separates enduring AI companies from impressive demos - how to build products people want, take them from prototype to production, create real defensibility, and compete globally. We’ll also explore where India has an edge, and what it will take to build globally significant AI companies from here. Speakers: Thomas Jeng, Head of Startups - APAC, OpenAI Rohil Bagga, Investor, Lightspeed India Sarthak Arora, Applied AI Engineer, OpenAI Agenda: 8:30 - 9:30 AM: Breakfast and Networking 9:30 - 10:15 AM: Fireside Chat 10:15 - 10:30 AM: Q&A Who Should Attend: Founders and operators building AI-native products, or bringing AI into existing ones, who want a candid, practical conversation with the teams at the frontier.

As AI starts to explain almost anything, what is a classroom actually for? AI is changing how we learn, teach and assess. Personalised tutors, instant feedback and generative tools can widen access to quality education, but they also raise hard questions about original thinking, equity and the role of the teacher. The goal of this talk is to create an environment of dialogue and ideas in the room. About Speaker: Dr. Prathosh A. P. is an Assistant Professor in the ECE department at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru and co-founder of Latentforce, AI infra for coding agents. His research focuses on deep learning, representation learning, and data-efficient machine learning, with applications in digital healthcare. He earned his Ph.D. from IISc in 2015 and previously taught at IIT Delhi and worked in research roles at Xerox and Philips. He also co-founded Cogniable, a startup developing AI tools for behavioural healthcare. Join online: meet.google.com/dqi-cwwr-jiw Looking forward to seeing you!

\\ Pre-register on the AICamp event website is required for admission. Description: Welcome to the Enterprise AI Showcase in Bangalore, in collaboration with Snowflake, ANSR. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and machine learning, networking with speakers and fellow developers. Agenda: \ 10:00am\~10:30am: Checkin \ 10:30am\~10:45am: Welcome and Intro \ 10:45am\~12:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A \ 12:00pm\~1:00pm: Networking and Snacks Tech Talk 1: Your Cortex Agent Passed Every Eval. It's Still Not Safe Speaker: Sandip Pani (Snowflake) Abstract: Agent evals measure whether your AI gets the right answer, not what happens when it's attacked. As agents gain tool access and data permissions, prompt injection and jailbreak attempts become a real production risk. This talk breaks down the emerging attack surface of AI agents and how Snowflake is building security into the data and control plane itself. We'll cover Cortex AI Guardrails for real-time prompt injection and jailbreak defense, data-layer protection via RBAC and Row Access Policies, account-level guardrail configuration for "define once, enforce everywhere" governance, and the newly announced Cortex AI Gateway and Agent Identity, Which govern what agents can actually do, and who's accountable when something goes wrong. Speakers/Topics: Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: Submit Topics Sponsors: We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community.

Embedded Swift: From Code to Hardware Join us for a hands-on Embedded Swift workshop where we explore how Swift can go beyond app development and interact with real hardware. In this session, participants will learn the basics of Embedded Swift and build small projects using a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W along with sensors and actuators. Date & Time Saturday, 24 October 2026 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM What we’ll cover Introduction to Embedded Swift Setting up the Embedded Swift development environment on macOS Understanding GPIO and hardware interaction Controlling an LED Reading input from an LDR/light sensor Working with an ultrasonic distance sensor Controlling a servo motor Using a buzzer Combining multiple components into a small final project Building and running Embedded Swift code on Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W Who can join? This workshop is suitable for: Swift and iOS developers curious about embedded systems Developers interested in hardware and IoT Students and makers who want to experiment with Swift on microcontrollers Anyone interested in exploring Swift beyond Apple-platform apps Basic programming knowledge is sufficient. Prior embedded-systems experience is not required. What to bring Please bring: A MacBook USB cable for connecting the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W Swift/toolchain setup as shared before the workshop Hardware for the hands-on exercises will be used during the session. Format This is a hands-on workshop, not just a presentation. Participants will write code, connect hardware, compile projects, and test them directly on the Raspberry Pi Pico. Seats are limited to 20 participants so that we can keep the session interactive and provide hands-on support. Organized by SwiftBengaluru.
