GPU-optimised data centres are vital for advancing India’s Al ambitions, enabling it to meet growing computational demands and maintaining global competitiveness
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, economies, and societies like never before. India, known for its tech innovation, is emerging as a global leader in adopting AI technologies. According to a Boston Consulting Group report, the country is at the forefront of embracing AI technologies. A significant gap has surfaced in the ability to deploy AI effectively. According to a Cisco study, only 18% of Indian companies are fully equipped to leverage AI in 2024.
This stark reality highlights the urgent need for robust, GPU-optimised infrastructure to support AI deployments and ensure India's continued competitiveness in the global AI race.
THE AI OPPORTUNITY: A USD 1.4 B INVESTMENT LANDSCAPE
India's potential as an AI powerhouse is evident in its ranking as the tenth-largest recipient of private AI investments globally. In 2023, the country attracted USD 1.4 billion in funding, as reported by Bond Capital. This influx of investment underscores the strong interest in building the foundational infrastructure needed for AI innovation.
