The usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing worldwide, and our country, India, is also not lagging in this. India’s top giants, Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group, are in talks with Nvidia to build AI infrastructure locally. The AI revolution is transforming every industry.
Jensen Huang said that India has the potential to become one of the largest AI markets in the world. Huang also met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed the scope of AI in India.
Had an excellent meeting with Mr. Jensen Huang, the CEO of @nvidia. We talked at length about the rich potential India offers in the world of AI. Mr. Jensen Huang was appreciative of the strides India has made in this sector and was equally upbeat about the talented youth of… pic.twitter.com/zT6Cyrmk5z

Both Tata and Reliance have their own models for using AI. The companies will work together to build AI infrastructure that is more powerful than the fastest supercomputer in India today.
Reliance Jio AI Infrastructure
Reliance Industries is collaborating to develop India’s language model trained on the nation’s diverse languages and generative AI applications to serve the world’s most populous country.
NVIDIA will provide access to the most advanced NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and NVIDIA DGX Cloud, an AI supercomputing service in the cloud. The NVIDIA-powered AI infrastructure is the foundation of the new frontier in AI for Reliance Jio Infocomm.
Reliance will create AI applications and services for their Jio customers and provide energy-efficient AI infrastructure to scientists, developers and startups across India.
AI can help rural farmers interact via cell phones in their local language to get weather information and crop prices. It can help provide, at a massive scale, expert diagnosis of medical symptoms and imaging scans where doctors may not be immediately available. AI can better predict cyclonic storms using decades of atmospheric data, enabling those at risk to evacuate and find shelter.
“We are delighted to partner with Reliance to build state-of-the-art AI supercomputers in India,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. Already, Jio has expertise and experience in mobile phones, 5G and Fiber networks, which will give them an advantage in building world-class AI infrastructure.
Tata Group AI Infrastructure
Moreover, Tata Communications and NVIDIA will develop an AI cloud in India to provide critical infrastructure. Tata Communications’ robust global network combined with the AI cloud will empower enterprises to transfer data across the AI cloud at high speeds, enabling them to effectively bring the AI cloud to the doorstep of every enterprise.
TCS will utilize the AI infrastructure and capabilities to build and process generative AI applications. Huang said- “We are delighted to partner with Tata as they expand their cloud infrastructure service with NVIDIA AI supercomputing to support the exponential demand of generative AI startups and processing of large language models.”
Nvidia and Tata will work together to build a best-in-class performance AI supercomputer powered by the next-generation NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip.
In short, our Indian government and Indian companies are working together to achieve maximum advantage of artificial intelligence in every possible sector. We will see better AI applications domestically after some time.
