NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the importance of India manufacturing its own AI during the NVIDIA AI Summit in Mumbai on October 24, 2024. He stated, "It makes complete sense that India should manufacture its own AI".
Huang highlighted India's potential to become a global leader in AI, leveraging its vast pool of technical talent and immense data resources. He also mentioned that India could export AI in the future, similar to how it has exported software.
This vision aligns with NVIDIA's collaborations with Indian companies like Reliance Industries and Tech Mahindra to develop advanced AI infrastructure and solutions.
To capitalize on this country’s talent and India’s immense data resources, the country’s leading cloud infrastructure providers are rapidly accelerating their data center capacity. NVIDIA is playing a key role, with NVIDIA GPU deployments expected to grow nearly 10x by year’s end, creating the backbone for an AI-driven economy.
Together with NVIDIA, these companies are at the cutting edge of a shift Huang compared to the seismic change in computing introduced by IBM’s System 360 in 1964, calling it the most profound platform shift since then.
"This industry, the computing industry, is going to become the intelligence industry,” Huang said, pointing to India’s unique strengths to lead this industry, thanks to its enormous amounts of data and large population.
Huang identified three areas where AI will transform industries: sovereign AI, where nations use their own data to drive innovation; agentic AI, which automates knowledge-based work; and physical AI, which applies AI to industrial tasks through robotics and autonomous systems. India, Huang noted, is uniquely positioned to lead in all three areas.
India’s startups are already harnessing NVIDIA technology to drive innovation across industries and are positioning themselves as global players, bringing the country’s AI solutions to the world.
