This initiative aims to revolutionize industries like healthcare, agriculture, and manufacturing, aligning with India’s broader digital transformation goals.
By doubling down on partnerships and leveraging India’s vast developer ecosystem, NVIDIA is playing a pivotal role in driving the nation’s AI advancements, further solidifying its position in the global AI landscape.
