WE3 Asia Summit
What An Incredible Day At WE3 Asia 2026!
If there was one sentiment that echoed throughout WE3 Asia 2026 in New Delhi, it was this:
“This is exactly where Asia needs to be.”
Not theoretical conversations.
Not distant roadmaps.
But real, grounded dialogue about what transformation looks like inside Asian utilities today. WE3 Asia brought together 200+ leaders from 40+ utilities across the region - CEOs, CXOs, grid heads, digital leaders, customer and workforce transformation teams - for one focused purpose:
To address the realities of energy and utility transformation in Asia.
“At WE3 Asia, one thing became clear - the future of utilities in our region will be defined by People + AI. When human expertise meets intelligence built specifically for energy and water, transformation stops being theoretical and starts becoming operational.”
Deepak Garg
Chairman / Founder/ Co-CEO

Reliving All Our Favorite Moments From WE3 Asia Summit 2026
Hosted by SEW.AI, Co-Organized by ISGF and supported by leading partners and sponsors, the summit welcomed executives and innovators from across Asia’s energy and water ecosystem, creating a powerful forum to exchange insights, share lessons learned, and shape the future of a more connected, resilient, and customer-centric utility industry.
A Summit Powered by Visionary Leadership
From the ceremonial lighting of the diya to the final plenary, the day carried both symbolism and substance.
Deepak Garg, Chairman/Founder/Co-CEO, SEW.AI and Mashal Dhawan, CEO, Asia, SEW.AI, opened the summit by anchoring the central idea that echoed throughout the day - People + AI is not a slogan, it is an operating philosophy.That philosophy came alive through powerful keynotes.
Atul Bali, Executive Director at Powergrid Corporation of India Ltd, Anil Rawal, MD & CEO, IntelliSmart, Manoj Kohli, Former Country Head, Softbank India & Ravinder Sajwan, CEO, UltraGreen.AI, all keynote speakers shared their perspective on how a century-old institution is now moving towards modernizing for the next decade - reinforcing that digital ambition must translate into operating discipline.
The Moment That Lit Up the Room
When Kapil Dev stepped onto the stage for a candid leadership conversation with Deepak Garg, the Crystal Ballroom came alive.
It was not nostalgia that filled the room - it was perspective.
Kapil Dev spoke about resilience, accountability, teamwork, and the courage to take bold decisions under pressure. Lessons drawn from cricket, yet profoundly relevant to utility leadership in an era of uncertainty and scale.
The exchange was spontaneous, honest, and energizing. The laughter, the reflection, the applause — the ballroom responded with a roar.
Because the message was universal:
Transformation depends on leadership.
And leadership demands conviction.
Celebrating Excellence Across the Region
The WE3 Awards ceremony brought another powerful moment - recognizing utilities and leaders who are not just envisioning change, but delivering it.
From Tata Power and IntelliSmart to Botswana Power, SESB, BSES, Tata Power Odisha Discoms, and many more - the awards celebrated digital energy and water pioneers who are pushing boundaries and setting new standards for execution.
