Google and Nvidia, the two tech giants, have announced plans to deepen their involvement in India, with a focus on advancing artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, following a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang, whose company dominates 88% of the global GPU market, praised India’s talent in computer science and highlighted AI as a transformative industry.

Huang emphasized the potential for partnerships with India and noted Nvidia’s collaboration with Yotta Data Services, aiming to expand its GPU capacity to 32,768 units by 2025. He also underscored India’s thriving startup ecosystem, particularly in AI.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai echoed similar sentiments, recognizing Modi’s Digital India vision and emphasizing the company’s commitment to investing in AI technologies across sectors like healthcare, education, and agriculture.

Pichai noted that Modi encouraged Google to explore further opportunities for AI applications in India, citing infrastructure like data centers and energy as crucial to supporting the country’s transition. Both leaders stressed the importance of ensuring AI benefits the Indian population.

The meeting occurred on Sunday at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel during Modi’s three-day visit to the US, where he also engaged in discussions with top executives from firms specializing in AI, quantum computing, and semiconductors.
