The 14th Annual Digital Marketing Summit, organised by iDoneSEO, will be held on November 28, 2026, at the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE), IIIT Hyderabad, Gachibowli. The event will bring together startup founders, marketers, agency professionals and growth leaders for a day of discussions, learning and networking.
Over the past 14 years, the summit has developed into a prominent gathering for Hyderabad’s digital marketing community, providing a platform for professionals to exchange ideas and share practical experiences.
This year’s event will focus on the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in marketing, evolving consumer behaviour and emerging strategies for business growth. Discussions will explore how AI is transforming content creation, campaign management, customer engagement and performance measurement.

The panel will feature Kiran Babu (Rava AI), Dr. Subhendu Pattnaik (Covasant) and Ketan Pathki (WYC). The discussion will examine how AI is reshaping marketing teams, workflows and growth strategies.
The second panel, “The New Consumer Journey”, will be moderated by Amarnath Jan (NeoGreens). It will feature Pranav Bonigi (AI Marketing Lab), Krishna Priya Akella (Starbuzz.ai) and Bhargava Krishna Marripati (SellerScale). The discussion will focus on how social media, content creators, influencers and changing consumer buying patterns are influencing marketing decisions.
The summit will also feature practical sessions by Teja Undavalli, Chandana Punna and SaiKiran Gunda. Their sessions will cover advertising that converts, founder-led marketing and community-driven growth.
Another highlight will be five live AI and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product presentations. Startups and product teams will showcase tools designed to improve marketing effectiveness and support business growth.
The event will provide startup founders and marketing professionals with opportunities to explore practical approaches to customer acquisition, building audience trust and achieving sustainable business growth.
