Nvidia CEO Joins Hands With Mukesh Ambani To build AI Infrastructure In India

The two executives shared the stage at Nvidia's AI summit in Mumbai on Thursday and said a new major data center by Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd. in India is set to use the latest chips from the chip giant.

Nvidia Corp.'s Jensen Huang struck a partnership with Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, to build out artificial intelligence infrastructure and spur the technology's adoption in the world's most populous country.

The two executives shared the stage at Nvidia's AI summit in Mumbai on Thursday and said a new major data center by Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd. in India is set to use the latest Blackwell chips from the US company. Nvidia also forged partnerships with Indian conglomerates including Infosys Ltd. and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd.

India has emerged as a potentially major AI arena, with the country of 1.4 billion adopting the technology in industries including agriculture, education and manufacturing to boost efficiency. While still a small part of their revenue, global tech companies from Nvidia to Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. are betting on the rapidly-growing economy as a growth market that can emerge as an alternative to China.
