Jensen Huang and Mukesh Ambani to Discuss India’s AI Future at NVIDIA AI Summit in Mumbai
NVIDIA chief Jensen Huang will engage in a fireside chat with Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, on October 24 at 10 a.m IST during NVIDIA’s AI Summit India. The discussion will explore NVIDIA’s engagement with the Indian AI ecosystem and how India is embracing accelerated computing as it embarks on a new industrial revolution fueled by AI. The summit, scheduled from October 23 to 25 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, will include presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities aimed at connecting industry experts and showcasing advancements in artificial intelligence. Huang’s visit marks a continuation of NVIDIA’s collaboration with Indian companies, including Reliance, Tata, and Infosys, to enhance 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 working on AI-cloud infrastructure. Tata Communications’ Managing Director and CEO, A.S. Lakshminarayanan, confirmed that the installation of NVIDIA’s AI Cloud is underway, with a full launch anticipated by the third quarter of this fiscal year. Reliance Industries has also unveiled consumer-focused AI initiatives, including Jio Brain, Jio AI-Cloud, and Jio Phone Call AI, alongside plans for national AI infrastructure that aims to challenge global cloud giants and reshape India’s AI landscape. At the 47th Annual General Meeting (AGM), Ambani highlighted AI’s pivotal role in the company’s future, showcasing innovations such as JioBrain, an AI service platform designed to improve operations across all Reliance enterprises. Moreover, Jio introduced an AI-powered feature capable of transcribing, summarizing, and translating phone conversations in real time. “Thanks to Jio, India is now the world’s largest data market,” said Ambani. The vast data pool offers Jio exceptional insights, allowing for continuous refinement and scaling of its AI solutions. Jio’s foray into the AI cloud market directly challenges established players like Google Cloud. As part of its AI strategy, Jio launched the Jio AI-Cloud Welcome Offer, providing up to 100 GB of free cloud storage for Jio users starting this Diwali. Recently, Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani and Akash Ambani, chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, visited the TWO US office, where they discussed AI’s evolving role in India with founder Pranav Mistry. “Pleasure hosting Mukesh Ambani and Akash Ambani at our TWO US office and discussing all things AI for India and beyond over chai,” Mistry posted on LinkedIn. TWO, a startup supported by Reliance Jio, has launched SUTRA, a family of cost-efficient, multilingual generative AI models that excel in over 50 languages. These models, available on the ChatSUTRA app, offer speech, search, and visual processing capabilities. The startup secured a $20 million seed fund in February 2022 from Jio Platforms and South Korean conglomerate Naver. Pranav Mistry remarked, “Jio has been one of our key partners for a long time and has invested in us from the very beginning.”
