Pune, February 2026: The ASM Group of Institutes has set a new benchmark in technology-driven education with the launch of ASM AI Fest 2026 on 9th February. In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the AI-powered Digital Twin of Chairman Dr. Sandeep Pachpande delivered a live, synchronized keynote across 10 campuses, addressing thousands of students and faculty members simultaneously.
The initiative marks the beginning of a large-scale AI integration movement across ASM institutions and aligns with the Government of India’s IndiaAI Mission under the broader vision of Digital India.

AI Fest 2026: Creating an AI-First Learning Culture
Running from 9th to 28th February 2026, the festival engages over 6,000 students in practical AI training across disciplines. Management students are learning AI-driven analytics and automation tools, while MCA and Engineering students are working with machine learning applications and real-world AI projects. Undergraduate, school, and junior college students are being introduced to AI fundamentals and ethical digital practices, ensuring early awareness and responsible adoption.
Importantly, administrative and support staff are also part of the initiative, enabling AI adoption across academic and operational systems—building a fully AI-enabled ecosystem rather than isolated experimentation.
A Vision for Future-Ready Leadership
Speaking during the launch, Dr. Pachpande emphasized that the objective of AI Fest 2026 is to prepare students not just for employment but for leadership in an AI-powered economy. He reiterated ASM’s belief that technology should enhance human creativity, critical thinking, and ethical responsibility.
The festival will culminate on 28th February with a synchronized closing ceremony celebrating AI-led projects and institutional milestones. With this initiative, ASM reinforces its commitment to shaping skilled, future-ready professionals equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.
