India Mobile Congress 2026
India Mobile Congress 2026 runs from 7 to 10 October 2026 at Yashobhoomi, the India International Convention and Expo Centre in Dwarka, New Delhi. It is Asia's largest telecom, media and technology exhibition, organised by the Cellular Operators Association of India with the Department of Telecommunications. Around 500 exhibitors and 150,000 attendees are expected across four days.
Event details
Who attends
The floor mixes three distinct crowds. Telecom operators and their network and infrastructure vendors make up the core. Around them sit semiconductor, satellite communications and device manufacturers. The third group is the startup and policy contingent drawn by the government backing: regulators, state delegations and investors. For an exhibitor that means the badge you scan could be a procurement lead, a policy official or a founder looking for a partner, and each needs tagging differently.
What's on the programme
- Exhibition halls organised by segment, with operator, infrastructure, device and startup zones
- A conference programme running alongside the show floor across all four days
- Government and regulatory sessions reflecting the Department of Telecommunications' involvement
- Startup and innovation pavilions with investor meetings
Working the floor
- Four days at this scale is the hardest kind of show to staff. Rotate who is on the stand, and make sure whoever is there can capture a contact in seconds rather than holding a clipboard.
- The halls at Yashobhoomi are vast. Agree a meeting point and a shared lead list before day one, because staff will not find each other on the floor.
- Six-figure attendance means volume over depth. Capture everything and qualify afterwards. Ten seconds of voice note after a conversation is worth more than the card alone.
- Operator and policy visitors often carry no card at all. Ask for the connection on the spot and record it the same way.
Capturing leads at India Mobile Congress
Cards collected at a booth are worth nothing until they are typed up, and most never are. Karo turns a photo of a card into a CRM-ready contact inside WhatsApp or Telegram, with a voice note attached for the context you will have forgotten by the evening. Every seat on the stand captures into one shared list, tagged by event, exportable the day the hall closes.
