NVIDIA Chief Jensen Huang to Visit India in October | Register Now for AI Summit
NVIDIA has announced its AI Summit 2024, set to take place from October 23 to 25 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India. The summit will feature three days of presentations, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities, aimed at connecting industry experts and exploring advancements in artificial intelligence. “It’s going to be an exhilarating experience for the tech community and I’m especially proud to be hosting the summit in India,” said Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director, Asia South NVIDIA. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will make a special visit to India for the event, participating in a fireside chat. Huang’s visit follows last year’s announcement of NVIDIA’s partnerships with Reliance, Tata, and Infosys to support India’s AI startup ecosystem and reskill the IT workforce. NVIDIA has begun delivering its latest chips, such as the GH200 AI, to Indian partners like Tata Communications and Jio Platforms, which are building AI-cloud infrastructure Tata Communications’ Managing Director and CEO, A.S. Lakshminarayanan, confirmed that the installation process for NVIDIA’s AI Cloud is underway, with a full launch expected by the third quarter of this fiscal year. The summit will showcase NVIDIA’s latest innovations, including the much-anticipated B100 chip, promising significant improvements over its predecessor, the H100. Attendees can explore NVIDIA’s suite of AI solutions designed to accelerate innovation in fields like healthcare, robotics, and industrial digitalization.

During his visit to India last year, Huang said “India has lots of data,” touching upon the diversity of languages and dialects. He said, “There’s no reason for India to export data to western companies”. He believes India has the capability to make in-house LLMs and foundational models. “You have all of your own data. You have the great talent of computer scientists. You produce more computer scientists than any country on the planet; and have the right infrastructure for producing computer scientists. You have an infrastructure for that, right? It’s called AI – Actual Intelligence,” said Jensen, speaking of IITs. However, he said India does lack infrastructure – “not the roads and bridges kind”, but AI infrastructure. He said with NVIDIA supercomputers coming in, that has also been taken care of. “You have everything you need to build and use the AI here. But you need to have infrastructure. Just like electric power plants and steam engines, this is now the production of intelligence,” he stressed. REGISTER NOW Following that, the Indian government is actively supporting AI development through the IndiaAI mission, launched in March 2024, which aims to position India as a global AI leader by investing in infrastructure and supporting startups. The mission includes an INR 10,300 crore investment to expand AI infrastructure and make GPUs more accessible. In March 2024, Yotta received the first shipment of 4,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs. Yotta plans to scale up its GPU inventory to 32,768 units by the end of 2025, following last year’s announcement of importing 24,000 GPUs, including NVIDIA H100s and L40S, in phases. REGISTER NOW
