SEW.AI to Host WE3 Asia 2026 Focused on People + AI and Execution at Scale
Hosted by SEW.AI and co-organiser with ISGF, the CXO- summit will be held alongside India Smart Utility Week in New Delhi
New Delhi | 9–10 March 2026
SEW.AI (Smart Energy Water) will host WE3 Asia 2026, a CXO-level leadership summit convening senior leaders from energy, water, and gas utilities across the region. The Summit will take place on 9–10th March 2026 at The Lalit, New Delhi, co-hosted with the India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF).
In 2026, that conversation comes to Asia.
The Summit brings the WE3 global lens to Asia’s unique realities-scale, speed, diversity, and complexity-at a time when the region is driving the world’s most ambitious energy, water and electrification transitions.
Why WE3, Why Asia
Asia is not following the global energy transition-it is, in fact, defining it.
From rapid electrification and renewable integration to smart metering, electric mobility, and grid modernization, utilities across Asia are operating at unprecedented scale. These shifts demand more than technology adoption. They require leadership alignment, execution discipline, and platforms that connect customers, workforce, and grid operations.
Commenting on the collaboration, Mashal Dhawan, CEO Asia, SEW.AI, said: “Energy and Utilities across Asia are no longer asking whether to transform, but how to execute at scale while balancing reliability, affordability, and trust. WE3 Asia is designed as a leadership summit-where CXOs can share real world experiences, challenge assumptions, and focus on what it takes to turn digital ambition into sustained operational impact.”
The Summit is focussed on what it takes to move from strategy to execution-balancing innovation with affordability, resilience with growth, and ambition with on-the-ground realities.
“Asia’s utility transformation is being shaped by collaboration across utilities, regulators, financial institutions, and technology partners,” said Amitabh, President – Asia, SEW.AI. “WE3 Asia reflects this ecosystem-led approach, bringing leaders together to align on priorities, share regional perspectives, and build momentum for transformation that is sustainable, inclusive, and grounded in local realities.”
Reji Kumar Pillai, President, ISGF, said: “ISGF has consistently worked to bring together utilities, policymakers, and technology leaders to shape India’s energy future. Our collaboration with SEW.AI through WE3 Asia and ISUW strengthens this mission by combining global platform experience with deep regional insight.”
People + AI at the Center of Transformation
At its core, WE3 Asia 2026 is about People + AI - how energy and utilities are responsibly and practically applying Vertical AI to empower their workforce, strengthen customer trust, and improve grid intelligence.
The Summit will feature real-world transformation stories from Asia’s leading utilities, highlighting:
- Vertical AI platforms purpose-built for utility operations
- Connected customer, workforce, and grid ecosystems
- Digital infrastructure readiness for DERs and eMobility
- Trust, cybersecurity, and governance at scale
- Leadership lessons on moving beyond pilots to measurable outcomes
The Defining Leadership Summit
WE3 Asia brings together CEOs, CIOs, CCOs, DISCOM leaders, regulators, policymakers, and ecosystem partners for focused dialogue and shared learning. The Summit will bring together leaders from organizations such as Tata Power, IntelliSmart, EDF , CESC, Gujarat Gas, IOCL, BSES, Torrent Power, Noida Power, REC, and PFC, as well as stakeholders from utilities, DISCOMs, gas companies, and international providers.
By convening alongside India Smart Utility Week, WE3 Asia creates a seamless bridge between leadership vision and policy advancement-where executive insights inform broader industry dialogue on standards, regulation, and collaboration.
