Nvidia, the renowned chip maker, is taking significant steps to deepen its presence in India, recognising the country as a promising market for artificial intelligence (AI). During an AI summit in Mumbai, CEO Jensen Huang announced that Nvidia would supply its Blackwell AI processors for a one-gigawatt data centre being developed by Reliance Industries, led by Mukesh Ambani, in Gujarat.
In addition to the Blackwell processors, Nvidia plans to provide tens of thousands of its Hopper AI chips to support the construction of large-scale data centres. This expansion is being led by companies like Yotta Data Services and Tata Communications. Huang emphasised India’s potential in the global AI landscape, stating, “In the future, India is going to be the country that will export AI.” He noted that India has the essential components—AI, data, and infrastructure—along with a vast population of users.

Nvidia is also collaborating with major Indian IT firms, including Tech Mahindra, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro, to train around half a million developers in designing and deploying AI agents using its software. Tech Mahindra has already begun using Nvidia’s new Hindi-language AI model to create a custom AI tool named Indus 2.0, catering to the needs of Hindi speakers across India, reports Reuters.

Moreover, companies like Reliance and Ola Electric will utilise Nvidia’s “Omniverse” simulation technology to test factory plans in a virtual environment. Huang praised India’s AI potential, remarking, “India is already world-class in designing chips, India already develops AI.” “Instead of being an outsourcer and a back office, India will become an exporter of AI.”
Nvidia’s commitment to India reflects its belief in the country’s ability to emerge as a key player in the global AI arena, with Huang stating, “Today, India as part of Nvidia’s revenue is small.” “But our hopes are large.”
