Top tech executives, VCs push govt to build infra to realise AI dreams

For India to extend its now unrivalled outsourcing success story to Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation, the government needs to invest in building a common AI compute infrastructure that would help bridge the critical gap with the US and draw in the necessary investments.

India’s largest cluster of graphics processing units (GPU) was about 2,000- 2,500 as compared with 20,000 plus in the US, said Shridhar Garge, Head, Strategy, Planning & Programs, NVIDIA, illustrating the relevant AI infrastructure gap that impedes growth potential for the biggest breakthrough technology in the world.
