Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ 2026
In Person- When

- Where
- Kochi, India | Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty

We have entered a major information supercycle – a transformative era where growth depends on the ability to deploy AI across every enterprise workflow.
Moving past isolated pilots requires solving for structural friction, not just model maturity. Decades of dark data, fragmented governance, and aging IT infrastructure have become the primary barriers preventing Indian enterprises from scaling their AI ambitions. Additionally, evolving regulatory mandates like India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, RBI frameworks and CERT-In norms make structured data compliance and risk mitigation an urgent priority.
Iron Mountain India helps you tackle decades of ungoverned information, recover trapped capital from legacy hardware, digitize critical business records, and stand up the scalable data center infrastructure that AI demands. By bridging your physical and digital worlds, we create the trusted, compliant information foundation your enterprise needs to scale AI securely and with confidence.
Join us at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ India to learn how Iron Mountain’s Digital Solutions, Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Data Center Infrastructure and Records and Information Management (RIM), can turbocharge your AI and digital transformation strategy today.

Join Us for Our Exclusive Session: Breaking the AI Bottleneck: Iron Mountain's Blueprint for an AI-Ready Enterprise
Wednesday, November 18, 2026 | 12:45 PM - 01:15 PM IST | Session Hall, Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty
AI experimentation is over — 2026 is about scale. Yet most enterprises aren't blocked by model maturity; they're blocked by what's underneath: siloed legacy data, fragmented governance, and IT estates never built for AI. Iron Mountain's research shows 86% of organizations have experienced AI project delays due to data issues, and over half of enterprise data remains dark or redundant — quietly draining the budget that should be funding innovation.
This session unpacks why "AI readiness" is often an illusion, and how leading enterprises are mining their own data and IT estates — not new budget — to fund AI at scale. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for turning legacy data debt, dormant IT assets, and infrastructure gaps into the foundation their AI strategy actually needs.
Mark your calendars and join us at the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo in Kochi this November!
