Nvidia struck a deal with billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s conglomerate Reliance Industries.
Nvidia Corp has struck a deal with billionaire Mukesh Ambani's conglomerate Reliance Industries to build out an artificial intelligence (AI) computing infrastructure as well an innovation centre in India, the AI chip giant's CEO Jensen Huang said on Thursday.
A new major data centre by Reliance Industries will use the latest Nvidia's Blackwell AI chips.
Nvidia already has 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.
