AI for India
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|December 15, 2025
India has suddenly become the centre of global attention in artificial intelligence, not for producing the next OpenAI or DeepSeek, but for the sheer scale of opportunity it represents.
-
Recent commitments by major tech players to invest tens of billions of dollars into India's AI ecosystem signal more than corporate ambition ~ they underscore the country's strategic importance in a world increasingly defined by AI capabilities.
Yet these investments also raise a pressing question: can India keep pace in the global AI race, or will it chart a different path that leverages its unique strengths?
The country possesses one undeniable advantage: human capital. India produces a high concentration of AI-skilled professionals, with a developer base 2.5 times the global average. Indian engineers and data scientists are actively contributing to research, publications, and startups, often punching above their economic weight.
