About Telecom Shakti

Policy, Practice, and Research in Convergence

As India accelerates towards a hyper-connected, digitally inclusive future, the telecommunications sector is undergoing not just an evolution, but a profound transformation in scope, scale, and significance. Telecom is no longer limited to the laying of cables or erection of towers; it is now a converging ecosystem of public policy, technological innovation, infrastructure deployment, data governance, and strategic national planning. In this dynamic landscape, every spectrum band, network architecture, and regulatory clause carries implications that ripple across industries, governance models, and citizen services.

This intensive 4-days workshop is a response to that reality. It convenes visionaries, regulators, technologists, standards experts, and ground-level practitioners from academia, government, and industry, all working at the frontier of India’s telecom transformation. Together, they will decode the critical layers of India's readiness for the 5G-Advanced rollout, explore the design of Open RAN deployments, discuss policy levers for rural coverage, and outline pathways for the standardization and integration of 6G, ISAC, and NTN technologies.

From spectrum auction strategies and private networks to fiber densification, tower infrastructure, cybersecurity risks, AI-driven RAN optimization, and testbed-based innovation, this workshop provides a 360-degree deep dive into both foundational and futuristic aspects of telecom planning. Sessions are designed to address both technical enablers and governance frameworks, ensuring a multidisciplinary learning experience.

Whether you're a policy strategist, field deployment manager, startup founder, PhD researcher, standardization delegate, or telecom entrepreneur, this workshop will equip you with real-world insights, case studies, strategic tools, and future foresight to actively contribute to India’s telecom leadership over the next decade.
