Nvidia, Google to bolster AI focus and investments in India
By MYBRANDBOOK
Technology giants Google and Nvidia will increase their engagement in India and will focus more on leveraging artificial intelligence technology in the country. Top officials of the companies met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the Prime Minister has always been keen on learning about artificial intelligence, its potential and opportunities for India. He also acknowledged India as home to some of the world’s greatest computer scientists.
In the GPU segment, Nvidia is estimated to have a market share of 88% which is a huge demand for AI workloads across the world.
“Artificial Intelligence is also a new industry, a new manufacturing industry. I’m looking forward to partnering with India in a very deep way to make that possible. We have many partnerships with India. For one, we’re helping India gain access to our most advanced technologies,” Huang said.
Nvidia and Yotta Data Services have tied up to scale up its GPU stable to 32,768 units by the end of 2025.
Huang mentioned that India hosts the third-largest startup ecosystem and the work of all new generations of startups is based on AI.
“Every IIT has an Nvidia AI Center of Excellence. We’re teaching professionals. We’re teaching students how to upskill into this new world of AI. AI is a very complicated technology, but in the end it enables a country to take advantage of the technology in a way that has never been possible before. AI really democratised computing. This is India’s moment, you have to seize,” Huang said.
Google chief Sundar Pichai noted that the Prime Minister has been dedicated to transforming India through his Digital India vision, encouraging the company to manufacture and design in India.
“He challenged us to think about applications in healthcare, education, agriculture, and he’s also thinking about the infrastructure of India, be it data centres, power, energy and investing to make sure India can transition. We are robustly investing in AI in India, and we look forward to doing more,” Pichai said.
He also said that the PM has urged the tech giant to increase its efforts in AI and wants to make sure AI is there to benefit the people of India.
“He has a clear vision, both in terms of the opportunity that AI will create, but he wants to make sure ultimately, AI is there to benefit the people of India and he has a clear vision, that it should all be in the service of people of India. He is challenging us to do more,” Pichai said.
The meeting took place at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel during the second leg of Modi’s three-day US visit.
The Prime Minister participated in the roundtable with CEOs of US-based firms working on cutting-edge technologies such as AI, quantum computing and semiconductors.
