The Always‑On Mumbai Edition marks the first time our flagship event comes to India, bringing together leaders from Tax, Finance, and IT for an in‑person exchange on how India and the wider Asia‑Pacific region is shaping the future of digital tax compliance.
As one of the most advanced markets globally for large‑scale e‑invoicing and digital reporting, India provides a unique real‑world lens into what it takes to operate compliance at scale. Hosting Always‑On in Mumbai allows these experiences and insights to be shared directly with organisations navigating similar transformations across APAC.
The inaugural Mumbai Edition – 2026 will focus on practical insights and executive‑level discussions tailored to India’s maturity and its growing influence across the region. Sessions will explore navigating India’s e‑invoicing ecosystem, understanding how local regulatory developments are shaping compliance models across Asia, and examining how automation and AI are strengthening compliance, efficiency, and decision‑making.
Designed to balance strategic perspective with on‑the‑ground experience, the Mumbai Edition offers a first‑of‑its‑kind opportunity for Indian and regional leaders to learn from peers managing compliance at scale.
All session will be conducted in English.
