During a five-day tour of India earlier this month, Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang visited four cities, dined with tech executives and researchers, took numerous selfies, and sat for a one-on-one conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the AI sector. Huang's India itinerary was so crammed that he confessed to surviving entire work days on spicy masala omelets and cold coffees.
Huang may have been treated like a head of state, but the trip's purpose was all business. For Nvidia, whose graphics processors are vital to the development of artificial intelligence systems, the South Asian nation of 1.4 billion people presents a rare opportunity. As the US increasingly clamps down on exports of high-end chips to China and the world seeks an alternative electronics manufacturing base, India could shape up to be a source of AI talent, site for chip production and market for Nvidia's products.At a meeting with leading researchers in Delhi, Huang spoke of re-training entire swaths of the country's workforce and building future AI models using Indian data and talent, according to multiple attendees. Huang also told one executive in India's tech hub Bangalore that he's a big believer in the country's engineering talent, particularly graduates from its top engineering schools, Indian Institutes of Technology.
“You have the data, you have the talent,” Huang said at a news conference in Bangalore. Huang added: “This is going to be one of the largest AI markets in the world.”
Nvidia and India have a shared interest in betting on, and speeding up, the country's AI ascendancy. Chipmakers cannot sell top-end microprocessors to China, which accounts for a fifth of Nvidia's sales, amid fears the chips could be used to develop autonomous weaponry or wage cyberwarfare. “India is the only market remaining so it isn't surprising that Nvidia wants to put multiple eggs in that basket,” said Neil Shah, vice president of research at Counterpoint Technology Market Research.While Indian engineers are a vital part of the digital workforce, the country is still far away from developing the cutting-edge capabilities needed to manufacture Nvidia's sophisticated chips. But India has ambitions to boost electronics manufacturing as well as harness AI to buoy its digital economy. The country is plowing billions in subsidies to set up chip manufacturing infrastructure to lure the likes of Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Intel Corp.
“India is strategic to Nvidia's future,” said Nandan Nilekani, chairman of Infosys Ltd. and a designer of vital portions of the country's massive digital public infrastructure. “The government is aggressively building AI infrastructure and so are large private companies. That's

There's an irrefutable uniqueness to Melanie Perkins' approach towards running a tech company. The 36-year-old Australia based co-founder and CEO of Canva, a multi-platform designing suite, likes to make early bets on technology trends and indeed people who will use that tech. Unlike some of their competitors, premium subscriptions aren't priority, or a barometer of success.
Alphabet Inc.'s Google will begin to make its Chromebook laptops in India through a partnership forged with HP Inc. The move makes Mountain View, California-based Google the latest among global technology companies to expand assembly in the key growth market.

The move will help Google compete more effectively with Windows computers from companies such as Dell Technologies Inc. and Asustek Computer Inc. It's also another win for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's $2 billion incentive plan to have tech giants make India their production base.

After the successful landing on the Moon's surface, the Chandrayaan-3 mission has become a massive worldwide triumph for India in general and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in particular. ISRO achievements and amazing findings through the Chandrayaan-3 propulsion module, Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover will help scientists know more about the Moon and even the formation of our solar system. Both Vikram and Pragyan remained active for 14 lunar days till the lunar night began and ISRO had to put them into sleep mode.
