India has emerged as a potentially major AI arena, with the country of 1.4 billion adopting the technology in industries including agriculture, education and manufacturing to boost efficiency. While still a small part of their revenue, global tech companies from Nvidia to Microsoft Corp and Meta Platforms are betting on the rapidly-growing economy as a growth market and operations base.
Nvidia Corp’s Jensen Huang is forging partnerships with India’s biggest corporate names from Reliance Industries to Infosys, underscoring the importance of the world’s most populous country to the AI pioneer’s future.
The US chip company, which is holding one of its AI summits in Mumbai, highlighted the ways Indian partners across industries are using its AI technology to bolster their products and services. CEO Huang is due to discuss AI’s potential in India with retail-to-refining mogul Mukesh Ambani at the event on Thursday.
