Every cloud can have a desi silver lining
artificial intelligence (AI) revolution – this was Nvidia founder and chief executiveJensen Huang’s clarion call to India Inc at ET Conversations in Mumbai last Friday.
The Indian market is currently dominated by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. But are there any domestic players that are equipped to take on the three global hyperscalers?
There are local alternatives, such as E2E, according to Pratik Desai, founder of agricultural AI startup Kissan AI – which uses Azure as the primary cloud provider and AWS as a secondary cloud provider – but they are catching up in terms of cost and integrated services.
Asked about the cost of data storage for Indian AI startups, he said that it varies based on the application and use cases, although data storage cost is insignificant compared to graphics processing units (GPUs) or other AI services.
Generative AI services firm Shorthills AI uses a multi-cloud, hybrid approach to store data. «The programmatic, machine-generated data and logs are stored in object storage like AWS S3, Azure ADLS, Azure Blog and Google Cloud Storage,» its co-founder Paramdeep Singh told ET.
