This was #VizChitra2026! 2 days, 600+ community members, Bengaluru & online. Our first sold-out conference! Thank you for showing up, sharing so openly, and making VizChitra a little bigger, a little warmer, and a lot better than we had initially dreamed. Until next time! 💙
Urban India is one of the most data-rich, story-poor subjects in the country. At #VizChitra2026, our Bronze Sponsor CityFinance will unpack how city budgets shape the places we live in, and why many of the challenges we experience in our cities are, at their core, financial ones.
The hardest part of working with data is often the data itself. At #VizChitra2026, our Bronze Sponsor Thurro is showing how to fix that with an AI-powered platform built on 800+ ready-to-use data sources.
Some of the best conversations at #VizChitra2026 happen between sessions. This year, stop by our Silver Sponsor, @revisual.co' booth to meet the team behind India's first information design agency, exchange ideas, talk charts, and connect with fellow data viz-ards!
