Today, the definition of stardom and impact has evolved, and among many, Bhumi Satish Pednekkar is defining that 360-degree evolution. Be it as an actor, co-founder of her startup ‘MAIA’, cultural voice at global Summits and platforms, and a future-facing leader, Bhumi is shaping conversations and national dialogues that go beyond cinema.

Recently, Bhumi graced the AI Impact Summit as the founder of her AI startup company, MAIA.

Bhumi shared the stage with globally respected names, including Mati Staniszewski, a major name in global AI innovation. During the high-end tech conversations, Bhumi held her ground by speaking of MAIA, her media agency that aspires to fill a vacuum in the animation ecosystem through stories shaped by culture, everyday realities, resilience, and regional texture.
