Nvidia is embarking on a series of partnerships with Indian firms to deploy its AI chips and technology, deepening its push into a key growth market. The U.S. chip designer’s CEO, Jensen Huang, announced that the company has partnered with Reliance, India’s most valuable company, to build infrastructure for AI applications in the country.
At Nvidia’s ongoing AI Summit event in Mumbai, Huang revealed that the company is also collaborating with Tech Mahindra to develop Indus 2.0, an AI model in Hindi, using Nvidia’s chips and software. Additionally, infrastructure providers Tata Communications and Yotta Data Services plan to purchase and use tens of thousands of Nvidia H100 chips by the end of the year.
Huang emphasized India’s potential in AI, stating, “India used to be a country that exported software. In the future, India will be a country that exports AI.”
Indian tech giants like Infosys and Wipro have been working with Nvidia to enhance their AI capabilities. Wipro has trained 225,000 employees on Nvidia’s AI platforms, while Tata Consultancy Services has trained 50,000 staff as AI associates. Nvidia’s developer program has attracted over 500,000 developers from India.
Furthermore, Indian e-commerce firm Flipkart and software provider Zoho plan to use Nvidia’s technology to build large language models in Hindi, further contributing to the AI ecosystem in India.
The partnership with Reliance Industries, which builds on existing collaborations to create large language models for Indian languages, includes plans for AI cloud infrastructure and training programs for employees. A few Indian startups, such as CoRover.ai, are already leveraging Nvidia’s technology—CoRover’s chatbot for Indian Railways handles 150,000 daily queries in multiple languages.
Nvidia is competing with rivals AMD and Intel for India’s expanding AI chip market, having already trained more than 100,000 Indian AI developers. This extensive engagement highlights Nvidia’s commitment to becoming a key player in India’s AI revolution.
