Hyderabad, India, September 2026 — Mohit Shrivastava, AVP – Research & Consulting at Coherent Market Insights (CMI), will take the stage at analytica Lab India 2026 on September 11, presenting a session focused around a question that's becoming harder to answer with a single number: how far has automation and AI actually penetrated India's laboratories, and how much of that progress is real versus anticipated.

The session, scheduled for 2:00 PM–2:30 PM at Hall 5, is titled "Lab 5.0 in India: Laboratory Automation, Informatics and AI Market Opportunity, 2026–2033." It's built on CMI's new market intelligence report, developed specifically for the analytica Lab India 2026 audience which includes laboratory administrators, instrumentation providers, informatics vendors, and investors who are weighing where to invest next in digital lab infrastructure.

Lab 5.0 adoption is not moving at the same pace everywhere. A pharmaceutical QC lab in an established manufacturing hub may already use integrated LIMS and automated sample handling; a comparable research facility elsewhere may still be digitizing basic record-keeping. AI in analytical instrumentation is moving well ahead of AI in day-to-day lab operations. Shrivastava's session examines this uneven reality about where different laboratories stand today, why adoption varies so widely, and what that means for the path toward Lab 5.0.

Right after the presentation, Shrivastava moves into moderating a 50-minute CXO panel, "India's Laboratory & Scientific Ecosystem: Accelerating Innovation through Advanced Analytical Technologies, Digital Laboratories, and Industry Collaboration," featuring Dr. Ramesh Jagadeesan (Aragen Life Sciences), Dr. Jugnu Jain (Sapien Biosciences), Appasaheb Kandagal (Smilax Laboratories), and Venkat Kamalakar Bundla (Garphi Biosciences).

Following the session, Shrivastava and the CMI team will be available at Hall 4, Booth B75, for conversations on the underlying research, market entry strategy, or competitive positioning within India's lab technology space.

analytica Lab India 2026 will take place from September 10–12 at HITEX Exhibition Centre, Hyderabad, organized by Messe Muenchen India Pvt. Ltd.
