India, having a strong foundation of developers, startups, and collaborators, has emerged as a key center for AI innovation, stated Nvidia's managing director for South Asia, Vishal Dhupar, emphasizing that the company is closely collaborating with tech leaders nationwide to hasten transformation and fuel growth.

Nvidia's array of partnerships is essential since AI is not merely a single product or an isolated breakthrough, he mentioned, comparing Artificial Intelligence to a five-tier cake with energy at the base and chips, infrastructure, models, and applications layered above.

Every layer contains its unique ecosystem, and Nvidia collaborates with India's technology leaders across all levels of the stack, Dhupar stated.

He believes Nvidia's ecosystem in India is flourishing and expanding rapidly.

Nvidia announced its partnership with next-gen cloud providers Yotta, L&T, and E2E Networks to provide cutting-edge AI factories that address India's increasing demand for AI computation.
