11th Third Party Risk Management India Summit 2026
A key challenge in today's interconnected enterprise ecosystem is accurately identifying, quantifying and prioritizing third party risks. As organizations accelerate their digital transformation journeys, third-party ecosystems have become more complex, interconnected, and business-critical than ever before. From cloud providers, AI vendors, fintech partners, and managed service providers to fourth- and nth-party networks, organizations are increasingly operating within extended ecosystems where a single disruption can trigger far-reaching operational, cyber, regulatory, and reputational consequences. In this rapidly evolving landscape, traditional, assessment-driven approaches to Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) are no longer sufficient.
The future of TPRM is being shaped by a convergence of transformative forces including Artificial Intelligence, Agentic AI, continuous controls monitoring, operational resilience mandates, cybersecurity threats, evolving privacy regulations such as India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework, and heightened regulatory scrutiny of outsourcing and third-party governance. Organizations are moving beyond periodic vendor assessments towards real-time risk intelligence, predictive analytics, autonomous monitoring, and ecosystem-wide visibility.
The 11th Third Party Risk Management India Summit 2026 brings together top industry leaders and risk professionals to explore the next evolution of third-party risk management. The summit will examine how organizations can build resilient, trusted, and intelligence-driven third-party ecosystems capable of navigating an increasingly uncertain future.
