Even as year-to-date in 2024, Indian AI startupshave raised nearly $96 million, which is a 61% increase over the same period in 2023, there is a reset of sorts happening in the Indian AI space.

The bilateral ties flourished with advances in cross-border trade, transit arrangements, security collaboration, and people-to-people exchanges.
