Reliance, NVIDIA to Build AI Infrastructure for India

Mumbai- At the 2024 NVIDIA AI Summit in Mumbai, Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, announced a partnership between Reliance and NVIDIA to create cutting-edge AI infrastructure for India. This collaboration aims to bolster India's capabilities in the artificial intelligence sector.

According to Huang, "In order to lead in artificial intelligence, you need to have AI model technology that India has, you need to have data, and the last thing you need to have is AI infrastructure, and we are announcing that Reliance and NVIDIA are partnering to build AI infrastructure here in India." He emphasized that India's large population of users presents a significant advantage in developing this AI infrastructure.

Mukesh Ambani, Managing Director of Reliance Industries, expressed confidence in India's potential to become a major player in the AI market, stating, "India will be one of the biggest intelligence markets. It is not only our aspirations, but I think it is just the raw gene pool and the row gene power that exists in India, the youth power that exists in India that drives intelligence and hopefully, once we drive intelligence for our domestic markets, we will use intelligent services beyond software to integrate with the rest of the world."

Ambani highlighted India's progress in digital infrastructure, stating, "What we have also have is the necessary infrastructure and we have been fortunate that we have the connectivity infrastructure which is equivalent to the roads. I believe, apart from the US and China, India has the best digital connectivity infrastructure- 4G, 5G and the broadband in the world."

Huang echoed Ambani's sentiments, envisioning India's transition from a software exporter to a major force in AI, stating, "India used to be a country that produced software. You exported software. In the future India is going to export AI. I hope to partner with all of you to enable India to be at the centre of this new industrial revolution."
