TAIT's 'Kya Lagta Hai' Market Adda Ignites Industry Conversations on AI, Cybersecurity and Tomorrow's IT Channel Opportunities

TAIT's flagship Market Adda created a vibrant platform for technology leaders, distributors and channel partners to exchange actionable insights on AI adoption, cybersecurity, enterprise infrastructure and evolving market dynamics, reinforcing the association's commitment to empowering India's IT ecosystem through collaborative learning.

The Technology Association of Information Technology (TAIT) successfully hosted another engaging edition of its flagship Market Adda series on Friday, 19 July 2026, at the Ginget Hotel, Mumbai. The event brought together TAIT members, technology leaders, distributors, and industry experts for an evening of meaningful discussions, networking, and knowledge sharing. The theme for the session, "Kya Lagta Hai?", reflected one of the most commonly used expressions across India—regardless of language or region. More than a question, it represents curiosity, anticipation, and the pursuit of informed perspectives in an ever-changing business environment. Designed as an interactive conversation rather than a conventional seminar, the session encouraged members to exchange ideas with a distinguished panel of industry leaders. The discussion was moderated by Rushabh Shah, who facilitated an engaging dialogue between the panelists and the audience.

The distinguished panel comprised Gaurav Jaitley, ZM, West – HP Consumer; Vijay Goel, Miracle Tech Distributors; Chetan Timbadia, DC Infotech and Communication; Atul Gaur, Director, Savex Technologies; and Abhishek Jain, Arihant Infosolutions.

"Technology is evolving faster than ever, and the most valuable insights often emerge through open conversations between industry peers. 'Kya Lagta Hai' was designed to encourage exactly that—an honest exchange of perspectives that helps channel partners anticipate market shifts, identify new growth opportunities and make informed business decisions. The enthusiastic participation from our members reflects the growing importance of collaborative knowledge-sharing in building a stronger and more future-ready IT ecosystem."
