Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang communicated a huge interest in taking part in India's aggressive arrangement to set up a 10,000-GPU processing cluster for native AI computing requirements. This drive not only presents Nvidia with a valuable chance to take advantage of India's quickly developing business sector but also features the public authority's obligation to upskill the nation's tech labor force, he said.

Huang pointed out the public authority's transparent vision of situating India as a middle for value creation as opposed to just being "the back room for global firms".

“AI is used across engineering, marketing, sales, finance, business operations, strategies and more—all of this is the front office. And, India is looking to be a part of the front office here," Huang said during a press communication, a day after Nvidia divulged its most recent graphic processing unit, Blackwell, intended to meet the rising AI handling request worldwide.

In a bid to counter GPU supply requirements and relieve the lofty procurement costs, the Indian government on 7 March endorsed the distribution of ₹10,372-crore ($1.2 billion) for a few key drives, for example, the improvement of space explicit AI models, and laying out and keeping an open-source dataset covering every one of the 22 authority Indic dialects.

Getting homegrown AI development right could impel India's ascent to noticeable quality in the worldwide innovation market, Huang said. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi told me that India should not export flour to import bread—this makes perfect sense. Why export raw material only to import the value-added product? Why export India’s data, only to import AI?"

Information, hailed by a larger number of people as the currency of the cutting-edge world, is essential for preparing artificial intelligence models, with GPUs assuming an imperative part of the framework.
