INK describes itself as "India's foremost platform for cutting-edge ideas and inspiring stories".
INK is known for its events such as the annual INK Conference, INK Asia, and INK Salons.
The organization has grown significantly over the years.
As of February 2016, INK had conducted seven conferences (across multiple cities in India and abroad) and approximately 100 events; hosted 350 speakers and 70,000 attendees across these events; and received 20 million video views on inktalks.com and on various other social media platforms.

The 2015 INK Asia conference was a notable expansion for the organization because it was the first time a major INK event took place outside of India.
This conference, held at the iconic Marina Bay Sands in Singapore with the theme of "Designing the Future", was created as a forum for business leaders, entrepreneurs and technologists to connect and collaborate with their counterparts.

Prominent speakers at previous INK conferences include:
INK 2010: Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron who directed the blockbuster films Titanic and Avatar; visual data scientist Alexander Tsiaras; French designer Philippe Starck; and Indian activist Sunitha Krishnan, who works in the areas of anti-human trafficking, psychiatric rehabilitation and social policy.

INK 2011: American film, opera and theatre director Julie Taymor; and Indian innovator Arunachalam Muruganantham, who designed, tested and implemented a sanitary napkin making machine for rural India.

INK 2012: Cartoonist Matt Groening, who created the longest-running television comedy, The Simpsons; and Grammy Award winning graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister.

INK 2013: Deep ocean explorer David Gallo; tech pioneer and MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito; and business executive Nikesh Arora, who is now president and CEO of Softbank.

INK 2014: Mountaineer Arunima Sinha, the first female amputee to scale Mount Everest; and Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who has won both Academy and Emmy awards for documentary films.

INK Asia 2015: Iranian-American engineer Anousheh Ansari, the first female space tourist; and Swiss magician Marco Tempest, known for his multimedia magic and use of interactive technology and computer graphics in his illusions.

INK 2015: Roboticist and surgeon Catherine Mohr; award-winning Indian actor Irrfan Khan; CEO of Epibone Nina Tandon; and American actor and director Josh Radnor, who portrayed Ted Mosby in the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

INK is a platform for innovation at the intersection of science, technology, community and culture.
In a 2015 interview, Lakshmi stated: "We need to look at the new India with new eyes and focus on bringing digital access to everyone and cater to the needs of the youth in a whole new way.
We need to give them a platform to shine and we need to listen to them more".
Beyond live events, INK also serves as a community and has programs such as INK Fellows, an initiative started in 2010, which identifies young change-makers from different fields and provides them the support necessary to leverage their impact across the world.
To date, 133 Fellows have been part of the program.
INK states that it is "independent of TED, but values a continued warm relationship with the New York based TED organization".
