31 januray 2026: Ahmedabad, Laracon India 2026 brought together leading voices from the global Laravel community, positioning Gujarat as a hub for technology, AI adoption, and international collaboration.
Organizer Vishal Rajpurohit, CTO of Vytor Cloud Technologies, highlighted the challenges faced by Indian Software Engineers in the age of AI. He noted that every year thousands of Engineers lose jobs as companies move toward increasing Automation, but emphasized that AI should be viewed not as a threat, but as an empowering Tool.
“Laracon India is not just a conference—it’s a movement. Many Professionals and Entrepreneurs are still confused about what AI truly is. We bring the best minds from around the world so Developers, Business Leaders, and Students can understand that AI is not an obstacle, but an opportunity. This is Gujarat’s moment to shine on the global stage,” Rajpurohit said.
Taylor Otwell, founder of Laravel, praised India’s Developer Community:
“The enthusiasm here in India is inspiring. Laracon India reflects the global spirit of Laravel—open, collaborative, and forward-thinking. Together, we are shaping the future of web development and creating opportunities beyond borders,” Otwell said.
The press meet featured highlights from various sessions, including keynote addresses, technical talks, panel discussions, live coding demonstrations, workshops, and networking events. A major announcement was the launch of an AI SDK—a general-purpose toolkit capable of generating text, images, and audio, enabling engineers, companies, and students to build applications without deep programming knowledge.
The event further strengthened Laracon India’s role in reinforcing Gujarat’s position as a global tech hub, showcasing India’s dynamic developer community, and inspiring startups and SaaS companies with cutting-edge tools and best practices.
