Nvidia unveiled a series of new partnerships with Indian tech firms and data center providers on Tuesday, as the world’s most valuable chip company expands its AI push in the world’s most populous nation.
The partnerships span tech firms including consultancy giant Infosys, e-commerce Flipkart, software firm Zoho and Tech Mahindra that are using Nvidia’s tech to build Hindi language model, and infrastructure providers including Tata Communications and Yotta Data Services, the company said at its AI Summit in Mumbai.
Tech Mahindra plans to deploy the model across banking and healthcare sectors, while the infrastructure providers will add tens of thousands of Nvidia Hopper GPUs by year-end.
The announcement on Thursday follows Nvidia partnering with Reliance last year to work on building a large language model that is trained on India’s diverse languages. At the time, Nvidia also partnered with conglomerate Tata to train 600,000 employees at the consultancy firm TCS with advancements in AI and build AI infrastructure with Tata Communications.
The company said today that more than 2,000 Indian startups are using Nvidia’s technology include CoRover.ai, which built Indian Railways’ chatbot system handling 150,000 daily queries in multiple languages, and VideoVerse, developing AI tools for sports media content.
The U.S. chip designer has trained more than 100,000 Indian AI developers, it said.
