Nvidia Corp will supply artificial intelligence processors to Reliance Industries Ltd’s 1 gigawatt under-construction data centre in Gujarat and will team up with tech giants Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra and Wipro to deepen partnerships in growing Indian market, its CEO Jensen Huang said on Thursday.
Huang and Reliance boss Mukesh Ambani shared the stage at Nvidia’s AI summit here as the two announced a partnership to build out artificial intelligence infrastructure and spur the technology’s adoption in India.
Nvidia will supply its Blackwell AI processor for the Reliance data centre while its Hopper AI chips will be supplied to large-scale data centres of firms like Yotta Data Services and Tata Communications.
Also, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro will help clients deploy AI with custom-built solutions that use the US giant’s enterprise software platform. Tech Mahindra will use its new Hindi-language AI model to develop a custom AI model called Indus 2.0.
“India produced and exported software,” Huang said. “In the future, India will export AI”.
Reliance will be creating applications as part of the partnership and selling it to consumers, said Huang, who is on a two-day visit to the financial capital.
Nvidia already has a presence in six locations across India. The US firm works with enterprises, cloud providers and startups to build AI infrastructure powered by Nvidia’s accelerated computing stack comprising tens of thousands of its most advanced GPUs, high-performance networking, and AI software platforms and tools.
At the Nvidia AI Summit 2024 here, Ambani and Huang had a fireside chat to discuss India’s transformative potential in AI and its emerging role as a global leader in this field.
The partnership between Reliance and Nvidia aims to build a robust AI infrastructure in the country, which Ambani believes will not only enhance local capabilities but also position India as a significant player in the global intelligence market.
“India will start with the absolutely best that Nvidia has,” Ambani said.
Huang, during a press conference, told reporters here that the partnership also includes creating applications that Reliance could offer to consumers in India.
“We will also have an innovation centre as part of the tie-up,” he said.
Without giving details on the partnership, like investments or the infrastructure capacities to be created, Huang said the partnership entails a “fairly large scale” deployment of infrastructure for AI computing.
“India is already world-class in designing chips, Nvidia’s are designed here in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune. A third of Nvidia is Indian, maybe more,” Huang said.
During the fireside chat, Ambani said India is on the brink of a new intelligence age and will surprise the world with its achievements in intelligence technology over the coming years.
New technologies like AI and the aspirations of people are driving the Indian economy, he said.
“We are at the doorsteps of the new intelligence age. India will be one of the biggest intelligence markets. It’s not just our aspiration, but also the raw gene power which will help drive intelligence.
“India will not just deliver CEOs to the world, but also AI services,” Ambani asserted.
Ambani also pitched for using Meta’s open source Lama as the base model in India before the country develops its own model. PTI
