AI Factories Fuel India's Tech Boom

India boasts one of the highest AI adoption rates among knowledge workers, with 92% leveraging generative AI in their work-well above the global average of 75%.
  
AI's transformative impact on India's workforce highlights the proactive efforts by employees and leaders to incorporate AI into everyday tasks, enhancing productivity and innovation across sectors.
 
India's emergence as an AI powerhouse increasingly seek to develop their own competitive AI ecosystems instead of relying on the U.S. or China.
 
In recent years, the Indian government has fostered a supportive environment for AI growth, enabling global tech giants like Google and Meta, leading Indian enterprises such as Reliance Jio and Tata Consultancy Services, and a thriving ecosystem of startups to leverage the country’s cost-effective tech landscape. This strategic focus positions India as a vital player in the global AI landscape.
 
India has set itself apart from tech giants like Google and Microsoft by establishing a robust framework of trust in technology through its Digital Public Infrastructure. The Digital Public Infrastructure was Introduced nearly a decade ago as a public-private partnership, that integrates technology, governance, and civil society.
 
It encompasses key systems such as biometric identification, a rapid payments infrastructure, and consent-based data sharing, providing India’s 1.4 billion citizens with seamless access to essential public services. This innovative approach has not only enhanced service delivery but has also positioned India as a leader in leveraging technology for social good.

India's top cloud infrastructure providers and server manufacturers are significantly increasing their accelerated data center capacity. By the end of this year, NVIDIA GPU deployment in the country is set to expand nearly ten-fold compared to levels from 18 months ago. This rapid growth reflects the rising demand for high-performance computing and AI capabilities, positioning India as a key player in the global data center landscape.
 
Digital public infrastructure (DPI) plays a crucial role in positioning India as a frontrunner in the global AI race. With 900 million Indians online, India is dubbed "the data capital of the world," having rapidly embraced a culture of artificial intelligence. This advantage stems from the abundance of public datasets available for companies to develop their own AI algorithms, a unique resource that is not found elsewhere globally.
