Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) is significantly expanding its presence in India through new partnerships and infrastructure commitments to accelerate the country’s artificial intelligence (AI) capacity.
The company is collaborating with Yotta Data Services and E2E Networks Ltd. to deploy its advanced Blackwell Ultra graphic processing units (GPUs), further advancing India’s AI ecosystem.
Key Partnerships Drive AI Innovation
Nvidia’s collaboration with Yotta and E2E Networks involves using its latest Blackwell semiconductors to develop data centers and AI cloud platforms, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
Yotta plans to build a facility with over 20,000 Blackwell GPUs, investing more than $2 billion.
E2E Networks is also integrating Blackwell chips to develop new services, in collaboration with Larsen & Toubro Ltd.’s data center unit.
These partnerships contribute to Nvidia’s increasing role in supporting India’s AI ambitions, which align with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making the country a leading AI player.
Nvidia’s Expanding Role in India’s AI Ecosystem
In addition to its collaborations with data center providers, Nvidia is working closely with several venture capital firms, including Peak XV, Z47, Elevation Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, and Accel India, CNBC reported on Wednesday.
These firms will help identify and fund AI startups in the country, which has become a hotbed for tech investments.
India now has over 4,000 AI startups participating in Nvidia’s global startup program, offering support to help these companies build, scale, and bring their products to market.
Strategic Investments and Government Collaboration
Nvidia’s efforts are part of India’s broader “IndiaAI mission,” which aims to strengthen the country’s AI capabilities while providing funding for local entrepreneurs.
As part of its mission, Nvidia has partnered with Indian cloud providers such as Yotta, E2E Networks, and Larsen & Toubro, as well as government agencies and research institutions.
India also expects up to $200 billion in data center investments over the coming years, with companies like Adani pledging $100 billion for renewable energy-powered AI-ready data centers.
Major tech companies, including Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google, have committed over $50 billion to AI infrastructure in India.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) announced on Monday that it is expanding its collaboration with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to introduce its latest AI data center design in India.
This move aims to capture market share from Nvidia (NVDA) in the rapidly growing sector.
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia shares were up 1.94% at $188.55 during premarket trading on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
