Open Source Summit India 2026

Most organizations are running IAM infrastructure designed for a different era — built around human users and browser-based logins, then grown through procurement until it became fragmented and misaligned with how modern enterprises actually work.
Three forces are about to stress this model beyond its limits. AI agents need identities and governance just like humans but operate nothing like them. Converged identity platforms are replacing tool sprawl with unified architectures where governance, access management, and privileged access share a common foundation. And verifiable credentials are introducing decentralized trust models where identity claims can be carried and verified across organizational boundaries without a central provider.
This session maps what IAM needs to look like to handle all three, grounded in practical implementation experience rather than analyst predictions. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of where IAM is heading and how to start evolving today's infrastructure without rebuilding from scratch.
