Jensen Huang Celebrates India’s Dominance in IT and Computer Science
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang lauded India’s IT industry and deep expertise in computer science. He was speaking at the company’s AI Summit held in Mumbai on October 24. “Very few countries in the world have this amazing natural resource called IT and deep expertise in computer science. In the last couple of years, we have been working together and helped upscale about 2,00,000 IT professionals into the world of AI,” Huang said in a fireside chat with Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries. Meanwhile, Ambani praised NVIDIA for sparking the AI revolution and said India stands to gain immensely from its young population. He added that it will help the country catapult from being a global IT hub to a global centre for AI. At the ongoing three-day NVIDIA AI Summit, the company also strengthened its partnership to build AI infrastructure in the country. Reliance plans to construct gigawatt-scale data centres in Jamnagar, Gujarat, to ensure affordable access to AI models and services. It is likely that these data centres will be powered by NVIDIA’s high-end GPUs Last September, both companies announced their partnership to create AI supercomputers in India and develop large language models (LLMs) tailored to local languages. At the summit, NVIDIA also launched the Nemotron-4-Mini-Hindi-4B model, a small language model for Hindi, enabling businesses to deploy AI solutions specific to local needs. This model, part of NVIDIA’s NIM microservice, can be deployed on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems, optimising performance for various applications.
