GPU giant aims to bolster Indian tech landscape through strategic collaborations

NVIDIA, the leading graphics processing unit (GPU) manufacturer, is ramping up its efforts to forge partnerships with Indian companies to deploy advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director of NVIDIA Asia-South, revealed the company’s keen interest in collaborating with more Indian businesses during a fireside chat at the ongoing ‘Startup Mahakumbh‘ event in New Delhi.

In a bid to cater to the unique requirements of the Indian market, NVIDIA is committed to working closely with local businesses to innovate and build AI solutions tailored to the country’s needs. Dhupar highlighted the recent investment made by Yotta Data Services, backed by real estate mogul Niranjan Hiranandani, to acquire NVIDIA’s cutting-edge GPU chips. This strategic move marks NVIDIA’s significant AI bet in India, as the GPUs are instrumental for developing AI applications and training large language models (LLMs).

The partnership with Yotta underscores NVIDIA’s recognition of India’s burgeoning tech ecosystem and its potential for AI innovation. Notably, NVIDIA’s products are highly sought after for their critical role in AI development, powering applications such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and facilitating groundbreaking research in various domains.

During the discussion, Dhupar identified Krutrim, Sarvam AI, and Immersio as the three most exciting AI startups emerging from India. This acknowledgment highlights the growing prominence of Indian startups in the global AI landscape and underscores the need to foster a conducive environment for AI research and innovation.

However, Dhupar also highlighted the challenges hindering AI research in India, citing inadequate infrastructure as a significant bottleneck. Despite these challenges, both Dhupar and Rajan Anandan, Founder of Peak XV Partners, expressed optimism about India’s potential to emerge as a prominent player in the global AI arena.

The ongoing ‘Startup Mahakumbh’ event serves as a platform for fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among stakeholders in the Indian startup ecosystem. With over 10 thematic pavilions showcasing innovative offerings from startups, the event provides a conducive environment for networking, learning, and collaboration.

Looking ahead, NVIDIA’s strategic partnerships with Indian companies are expected to create significant opportunities for local startups. By leveraging NVIDIA’s advanced AI solutions, Indian startups can enhance their capabilities, drive innovation, and contribute to India’s emergence as a global AI powerhouse.
