Raising with Algorithms – Bachpan Manao at the AI Impact Summit

We are pleased to invite you to a special panel discussion, “Raising with Algorithms: Who Shapes the World the Next Generation Grows Into.”

As AI becomes part of how children learn, are cared for, and are prioritised within systems, this session asks a simple but urgent question: who is shaping the conditions in which the next generation grows? We will explore what safety, responsibility, and local realities mean when algorithms enter classrooms, clinics, homes, and community spaces.

The panel brings together leaders working across education, public systems, and AI infrastructure:

• Adam Ingle, LEGO® Education – bringing global perspectives on playful, hands-on learning and the future of education technology.
• Vedeika Shekhar, Public Policy Specialist, NITI Aayog – bringing a national policy lens on innovation, governance, and enabling cross-sector collaboration for India’s development journey.
• Azeez Gupta, Founder, Rocket Learning – working closely with governments to reach millions of young children across India through early childhood systems.
• Bronson Bakunga, Co-Founder, Crane AI Labs – building offline-first AI infrastructure for African languages to support teachers and caregivers in low-resource settings.
• Pallavi Poojari Mohindra, Co-Founder & CEO, The Nurturant – working at the intersection of parenting, early learning, and digital engagement.

This discussion, moderated by Deepika Mogilishetty, Chief of Policy and Partnerships, EkStep Foundation, is part of the AI Impact Summit.
