Nvidia is starting a series of collaborations with Indian companies to provide each other with AI technology, strengthening its presence in key growth markets.


American chipmaker Jensen Huang said the company has tied up with Reliance, India's most profitable company, to build infrastructure for AI applications in India. He also said that Tech Mahindra will use Nvidia chips and software to develop Indus 2.0, a Hindi version of AI.

Infrastructure providers Tata Communications and Yotta Data Services plan to buy and use tens of thousands of Nvidia H100 chips by the end of the year.


Huang presented at the company's AI conference in Mumbai, at a time when Indian technology providers are racing to develop AI capabilities.


Infosys, Wipro and other IT companies have used Nvidia software to develop custom AI applications for their enterprise customers. “India used to be a commodity exporting country. In the future, it will be a country that exports intelligence," Huang said.


Wipro said it has trained 225,000 employees on Nvidia's AI platform, while Tata Consultancy Services said it has trained 50,000 employees as AI partners. More than 500,000 developers in India have participated in Nvidia's development program, the company said. Indian e-commerce company Flipkart and software provider Zoho will also use Nvidia technology to create a large version of the language in Hindi.


These partnerships build on Nvidia's existing tie-up with Reliance Industries to develop large-scale language versions for Indian languages. The agreement also includes plans for AI cloud infrastructure and employee training.


A few Indian startups are also using Nvidia technology: CoRover.ai says its chatbot for Indian Railways handles 150,000 queries in multiple languages ​​every day and claims to have served more than 10 billion customer interactions since its launch.


Nvidia has trained more than 100,000 Indian AI developers as it competes with AMD and Intel for India's growing AI chip market.
