Building Institutions, Not Just Events
Lokakṣema 2026 establishes permanent structures ensuring lasting impact well beyond the summit itself.
Why Legacy Matters
We're building something different: every session, hackathon project, and partnership becomes part of permanent institutional infrastructure designed for decade-long impact.
Four Institutional Foundations
The Lokakṣema Foundation
Section 8 nonprofit; seed grants, convenings, incubator & fellowships; transparent governance.
Annual Flagship Report
State of Responsible AI & Human Well-being + dynamic dashboard tracking deployments & policies.
Global Advisory Council
15–18 members; ethics letters, grant review, strategic advice; geographic & gender balance.
Regional Chapters & Community Platform
Hubs across continents + digital platform; target 50,000+ members by 2028.
