The session saw enriching conversations at GSMA’s 5G Future Summit during MWC Barcelona 2026, where Manish Mangal joined the panel “Intelligence in the Network: A Foundation for 6G.” The discussions centered on how today’s 5G Standalone and 5G‑Advanced architectural decisions are shaping the foundation for future network evolution. The panelists highlighted the roadmap to embedding intelligence, programmability, and openness into current networks that help reduce architectural lock‑in, preserve long‑term investment value, and address emerging consumer and enterprise demands.

I just spent three days at the world's biggest tech show — and the AI era didn't feel like a prediction anymore. It felt like a live demonstration. #Sponsored MWC 2026 in Barcelona had one overarching theme: the IQ Era. AI wasn't a feature on the show floor. It was the architecture — inside the devices, inside the networks, and walking around on two legs. Here's what genuinely stood out, in my role as Futurist in Residence for Nokia: ➀ Devices are getting dramatically more intelligent — tri-fold phones that unfold into a full tablet, completely waterproof, with generative AI that lets you create photos, music and video from a single prompt ➁ Agentic AI was the biggest buzzword of the entire show — now built directly into devices, turning them from tools you interact with into assistants that act for you autonomously ➂ Smart glasses were the surprise of the week — real displays, real AI, letting you ask questions about what you're seeing, navigate, translate live conversations and use them as a teleprompter. The way we experience content is genuinely changing. ➃ Physical AI was everywhere — humanoid robots performing tasks, industrial automation, connected cars. AI is leaving the screen and entering the physical world at speed ➄ Network infrastructure is the theme most business leaders haven't fully grasped yet — none of the above works without AI-native networks, redesigned from the ground up for the demands AI places on speed, latency and capacity The companies that will lead the AI era won't just be the ones with the best models. They'll be the ones who invested in the infrastructure to carry them. Which of these trends are you watching most closely — and do you think your organisation is ready for what's coming? #Ad

📸 Day 3 at #MWCBarcelona was marked by exciting launches, impactful networking sessions, and thought‑provoking conversations. Our Tech Mahindra Summit sessions explored key transformation themes, including AI‑driven #IT and #CloudModernization, enterprise transformation through Network APIs, and the shift towards autonomous operations — highlighting how intelligence and automation are redefining scale, efficiency, and experience. The day also featured a @Tech_Mahindra-@awscloud  co‑hosted Social Hour, bringing industry experts together for focused conversations around agentic AI‑led #telecom innovation. Live showcases highlighted intelligent payment collections, cognitive AI‑powered NOCs, next‑generation sales and care journeys, #API monetization, and emerging Network‑as‑a‑Service models. The booth stayed active with ongoing demos, client meetings, and collaborative exchanges, turning conversations into actionable outcomes.

In this festive week of Diwali, what better source of #MondayMotivation than universal lessons from the life of Lord Sri Ram? He was not just a warrior or king; he was the embodiment of Maryada, the moral boundaries that guide all actions. Because the battle between good and evil isn’t fought only on a battlefield, it’s fought every day within us. And like Lord Shri Ram, each time we choose truth over deceit, humility over ego, and compassion over anger, we help good triumph once more… A Very Happy Diwali to you all

“…so in my book, the BE 6e is the product and EV from India that will force the world to take notice and see us as a country with rival car makers and not just as a market to sell their cars in. The Mahindra BE 6e then is the face of the statement for Indian automotive technology that India has arrived.” —Times of India This is the kind of review and comment that gets our spirits soaring, our batteries supercharged and sends our aspirations sky-high!
