American chip behemoth Nvidia Corp and India's retail-to-refining giant Reliance Industries on Thursday unveiled their goal to build a formidable AI computing infrastructure in the country.
Highlighting the tie-up, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, made a broader appeal: India should focus on "manufacturing" AI, rather than racing to build semiconductor fabs.
As part of this collaboration, Nvidia will reportedly supply its Blackwell AI processors to power Reliance's one-gigawatt data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
The US tech company will also provide its advanced Hopper AI chips to build large-scale data centers, in an expansion led by firms, such as data center provider Yotta Data Services and Tata Communications.
Infosys, TCS, and Wipro, all titans of India's IT industry, will help deploy custom AI solutions using Nvidia's enterprise platform, while Tech Mahindra shall tap into its new Hindi-language AI model to develop Indus 2.0.
But the headline-grabbing announcement was paired with a larger vision, articulated by Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries.
Intelligence In a fireside chat with Huang at Nvidia's AI Summit here, Ambani stressed that it was time India ushered in "the Revolution", noting that AI could not only bring prosperity to India's 1.5 billion people but also make a significant global impact.
