Welcome to The Accelerators
The future of business needs its next generation of leaders.
The Accelerators at TCS Summit Asia Pacific is TCS’ forum for the next generation of enterprise leaders, bringing together future leaders to explore the ideas, technologies, and leadership choices shaping the future of business.
As AI becomes embedded across the enterprise, tomorrow’s leaders will need to do more than understand the technology. They will need to know how to direct it, question it, and combine its possibilities with human creativity, judgement, and purpose.
At The Accelerators, we move beyond the conversation about AI and put its possibilities directly into your hands. Through provocative ideas, peer discussion, and an immersive live AI experience, this is a morning designed to challenge how you think, encourage you to experiment and give you a practical perspective on leading in an AI-enabled world.
Learn. Question. Build. Create impact.
A different kind of leadership experience
The morning begins by examining the human dimension of AI, before exploring some of the choices leaders will face as organisations balance people, purpose, risk, and opportunity.
Then we move from conversation to creation.
In Building a better future: Turning innovation into social impact, Ashok Krish, VP & Head, AI Practice at TCS, will lead a live, guided AI vibe-coding experience. Working in groups alongside TCS AI specialists, delegates will take on real-world challenges inspired by not-for-profit organisations participating in TCS Tech4HOPE and use AI to develop potential solutions in real time.
No coding expertise is required. This is about experiencing what becomes possible when human creativity, domain knowledge, and AI come together, and learning how ideas can move rapidly towards practical solutions with the right direction and expertise.
Technology with purpose
The challenges at the heart of the experience have a tangible purpose.
Since 2016, TCS Tech4HOPE has supported not-for-profit organisations through pro bono technology expertise, helping them strengthen operations, improve service delivery, and extend their community impact. The 2026 cohort includes seven organisations across Australia and New Zealand receiving tailored support spanning AI, cybersecurity, accessibility, and digital solutions.
By bringing some of these challenges into The Accelerators, delegates will be able to explore not only what AI can do, but how technology, expertise, and human ingenuity can come together to create meaningful impact.
