‘India has unique strengths to help it win the AI race’
startup ecosystem, the strength of its digital economy and the proliferation of the world’s largest global capability centres (GCCs) in the country will position India as one of the top three artificial intelligence (AI) economies globally, said Shanker Trivedi, senior vice president of enterprise business at Nvidia, the world’s largest chip maker, in conversation with Himanshi Lohchab & Surabhi Agarwal.
“India has unique characteristics. Some other regions are still a fragmented market. But India has always been one market with one currency, even while multiple cultures exist,” he told ET in an exclusive interview.
“Even the market in Nagaland is bigger, I can assure you, than some other nations. And I bet you, there’s somebody in Kohima right now planning a startup using this amazing infrastructure and platform,” said Trivedi, who has helmed Nvidia’s enterprise business for 15 years and is now a key member of chief executive Jensen Huang’s core team.
The Indian government’s focus on building sovereign AI is leading the way to build accelerated computing projects in the country, he said. “Government has an AI mission, a language mission, a supercomputing mission. That’s visionary. I hear 30% of the transactions are now accelerated,” said Trivedi.
India’s strength as a hub of global system integrators (GSIs) also makes it one of the most attractive markets for companies like Nvidia, he said.
