IIT Bhubaneswar, Infocity, and a state that has built one of India's better-run digital administrations. For now the city's engineers mostly export themselves to Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
This chapter is forming. 6 cities already meet as AI.Bharath.CLUB. Bhubaneswar is next, and the first twelve members set its character. We bring the structure, the playbook, and organizers who've done it before.
You know the bells drifting from Lingaraj at dawn, the queue toward Ananta Vasudeva for a plate of dalma and warm temple khichdi, the smell of rain hitting the laterite stone of the old town while the glass towers of Patia and Infocity catch the same monsoon light. You have eaten chhena poda till the edges went bitter-sweet, argued KIIT versus Utkal, watched the whole city spill onto the road for Rath Yatra. The Smart City grew fast around the old Ekamra heart without erasing it. Come sit with the ones who stayed to build, somewhere off the Kalpana square chaos, over chai and an idea that has nowhere else to go yet.
No cold rooms, no badge-scanning, no pitch decks. Just Bhubaneswar people who get it, the ones you'll wish you'd met five years ago.
IIT-BBS, KIIT, NISER, a serious engineering pipeline.
Odisha's disaster response and service delivery get studied across the country. AI belongs in that stack.
Steel, mining, and ports sit nearby, heavy sectors drowning in data that AI can actually sort through.
Quiet rise. Loud potential.
Infocity to Old Town, meetups and small tables with the people who do this work in Bhubaneswar.
Your Bhubaneswar card works in Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Puducherry too.
A job board, member asks, and people who vouch for each other when an opportunity opens.
Help your company, campus, or community adopt AI well, with the whole club behind you.
Bhubaneswar's talent builds everyone else's cities. Come build this one. Pull up a chair and bring what you are working on.
