An Indian government official said the process is informal and largely driven by first movers. “It is like putting your handkerchief on a bus seat to reserve it. The country that signals its intent first then negotiates with countries in line. The current host’s involvement is not much.”
India co-hosted the summit with France in Paris in 2025. No such norm has been followed at the 2026 India Summit.
The Swiss official quoted above said, “It was a last-minute decision at the Paris Summit and, for the time being, the Indians have not decided to follow this structure. They have not brought this up with us for this edition.”
Switzerland expressed its interest in hosting the 2027 summit in June 2025 and January 2026.
I am a technology policy reporter with the National Political Bureau at Hindustan Times, based in New Delhi. I cover digital policy and the intersection of technology and society, focusing mainly on what's happening in India. My beat often involves tracking platform regulation, privacy, internet curbs, and the real-world impact of digital rules, among other things. Can usually be found reading government notifications so that you don't have to.
I cover three key ministries: Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B).
I am originally from New Delhi and a graduate of the Asian College of Journalism, Chennai. Over the past nine years, I have worked across television, digital and print media with The Secretariat, CNN-News18, Tiranga TV, Interesting Engineering, and now Hindustan Times.
Although I am not on X, I can be reached at sejal.sharma@hindustantimes.com for tips, a chat or book recommendations. I respond fast, usually within a couple of hours.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing badminton and driving my car. I am a firm believer that every trip — work or leisure — deserves a fridge magnet.
