MarkGrid exhibited at India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026, held from October 7 to 10 at Yashobhoomi (IICC) in New Delhi. At the event, the team showcased its AI-driven marketing platform: an interactive grid powered by 650+ AI agents across 15 modules that plan, execute and measure enterprise marketing from one place. MarkGrid was founded in 2026 by CMOs and senior marketing operators to replace fragmented dashboards and slow agency reporting with unified, real-time intelligence.
Key facts: Event: India Mobile Congress 2026, the 10th edition, October 7–10, 2026. Venue: Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi. What MarkGrid showed: an interactive grid of 650+ autonomous AI agents across 15 marketing modules. Who built it: CMOs and senior marketing operators with an average of 18 years inside global MNCs. Headquarters: Noida, with offices in the US and UAE.
Why did MarkGrid go to IMC 2026?
IMC 2026 ran under the theme "Scale Without Boundaries," and "next-generation AI networks" and "enterprise transformation" were two of its nine anchor sectors, according to the official programme. With more than 1.5 lakh expected attendees, 500+ exhibitors and 600+ startups, it is the one place where India's telecom operators, device makers, enterprises and investors meet in the same halls.
For a company building AI agents for marketing, that audience matters. Telecom and consumer-tech brands run some of the largest and most complex marketing operations in the country, across dozens of channels, languages and regions. They are exactly the teams that feel the cost of fragmented tools first.
What did MarkGrid showcase at IMC 2026?
The centrepiece was an interactive grid that visitors could explore, with each tile representing a part of the marketing function run by AI agents. As the founding team shared on LinkedIn and Instagram, the grid is powered by 650+ AI agents designed to deliver enterprise marketing insights and run workflows end to end.
The grid maps to MarkGrid's three jobs, the questions every marketing leader asks:
See: where you show up, and why
- Model Share: how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot recommend your brand instead of a competitor, tracked down to the prompt and the cited source.
- Competitive Intel: real-time monitoring of competitor content, messaging and search visibility.
- Community Signals: buyer conversations across Reddit, Discord, Quora and forums.
- Brand Research: how AI models describe your brand across products and regions.
Make: proof before the spend
- Neuro-Marketing: creative scored by neuroscience-trained models before media money moves.
- Creator Real-Time Audit: influencer content vetted for brand safety before it publishes.
Run: the work, executed
- Budget Optimization: spend reallocated toward what is working.
- E-commerce Intelligence: spend connected to shelf and SKU performance, including AI shopping answers.
- SEO, content and reporting modules: research, briefs, publishing and board-ready reports.
Each module works on its own and shares data with the rest, which is the point: one source of truth instead of five disconnected tools.
Who built MarkGrid, and why?
MarkGrid was founded in 2026 by CMOs and senior marketing operators who spent years running growth P&Ls inside global consumer and B2B companies. The team has lived through every major channel shift, from search and paid social to mobile and content marketing.
Their frustration was familiar to anyone who has run a large marketing team:
- Too many dashboards. Every channel and agency brings its own report, and none of them agree.
- Slow answers. Agency reporting cycles mean decisions are made on last month's data.
- A new blind spot. Buyers increasingly start their research by asking an AI assistant, and most brands have no way to measure whether those answers mention them.
MarkGrid is the system the founders wanted as operators: one platform where AI agents do the analysis and execution continuously, and humans make the calls.
What makes MarkGrid different?
- Built by operators, not just engineers. The product reflects how marketing teams actually work, from budget reviews to board packs.
- Covers the whole function. Most AI marketing tools only generate content. MarkGrid spans visibility, creative, creator, commerce and spend.
- Measures the AI era. Model Share treats AI answers as a channel with its own share of voice, something traditional SEO tools do not track.
- Priced for growth stages. Plans start with MarkGrid Go for startups and smaller teams, up to custom Enterprise deployments, with pricing in local currency in India, the UAE, the US and Europe.
What did IMC 2026 tell us about the market?
IMC confirmed what we see in conversations with marketing leaders: AI is no longer a side project. When AI runs through networks, devices and apps, it also runs through how customers discover brands. Teams that can see and act on that shift in real time will grow faster than teams still stitching spreadsheets together.
We cover the wider event in our IMC 2026 highlights recap, and what it signals for agentic marketing in AI agents in enterprise marketing.
