Rakuten Product Conference 2024

Innovation is more than just machines, buzzwords, or breakthrough algorithms.

It's a living, breathing force impelled by authentic human connection. At Rakuten Product Conference, a premier product conference by Rakuten India, we believe in the enabling power of people coming together, sharing their ideas, and connecting the dots to make the world better for everybody.

At the core of Rakuten Product Conference 2024 are the two technological paradigms that are dominating headlines and boardroom discussions: Enterprise SaaS and Artificial Intelligence. With these game-changing subjects taking the centre stage, the fourth edition of the Rakuten Product Conference is set to be packed with actionable insights, dialogues, and a holistic perspective on what lies ahead.
