Technology giants Google and Nvidia will enhance their engagement in India with more focus on leveraging artificial intelligence technology in the country, top officials of the companies said on Monday after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) major Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the Prime Minister has always been keen on learning about artificial intelligence, its potential and opportunities for India.

"I have enjoyed so many meetings with the Prime Minister. He's such an incredible student, and every time I see him, he wants to learn about technology, artificial intelligence, the potential and opportunity for India, the impact on India, society and industry," Huang said.

Huang's Nvidia is estimated to have 88% market share in the GPU segment, which is in huge demand for AI workloads across the world.

He said India is home to some of the world's greatest computer scientists, which is a great opportunity.

"Artificial Intelligence is also a new industry, a new manufacturing industry. I'm looking forward to partnering with India in a very deep way to make that possible. We have many partnerships with India. For one, we're helping India gain access to our most advanced technologies," Huang said.

Nvidia has partnered with Yotta Data Services that plans to scale up its GPU stable to 32,768 units by the end of 2025.
