I returned to Umagine TN, this time as part of the Kenesis journey. The 2026 edition took place on January 8 and 9 at Chennai Trade Centre and focused heavily on deep tech, emerging technology, startups, investment and the broader technology ecosystem in Tamil Nadu.

The official Umagine and iTNT material records the event as the fourth edition and highlights the launch of the Tamil Nadu Deep Tech Startup Policy 2025-26. Kenesis was among the startups showcased through the iTNT ecosystem.

I also received ₹30,000 as an appreciation award from iTNT during the event.
