NVIDIA is partnering with Indian cloud providers, startups, research institutions, and enterprises to support IndiaAI Mission initiatives and sovereign AI development.
NVIDIA is expanding its partnerships across India’s AI ecosystem as the country accelerates investments in sovereign AI infrastructure, frontier models, and domestic AI innovation under the IndiaAI Mission.
The company outlined a broad set of collaborations during the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, where industry leaders, startups, government agencies, and research institutions gathered to discuss India’s AI strategy and infrastructure expansion.
India’s government-backed IndiaAI Mission has allocated more than $1 billion to expand compute infrastructure, support sovereign AI datasets and models, strengthen AI research, and boost startup innovation across the country.
Jay Puri said India is becoming a major center for AI infrastructure and frontier model development.
As part of the expansion, NVIDIA is collaborating with Indian cloud and infrastructure providers including Yotta, Larsen & Toubro, and E2E Networks to build AI compute capacity powered by NVIDIA GPU infrastructure.
Yotta is building sovereign AI infrastructure under its Shakti Cloud platform using more than 20,000 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs across campuses in Navi Mumbai and Greater Noida. The company said the infrastructure is intended to support AI training and inference for enterprises and public sector organizations in India.
Larsen & Toubro is developing gigawatt-scale AI factory infrastructure aligned with the IndiaAI Mission, including planned capacity expansions in Chennai and a new 40-megawatt facility in Mumbai focused on sovereign cloud workloads and hyperscale AI deployments.
Meanwhile, E2E Networks is building an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU cluster hosted at the L&T Vyoma Data Center in Chennai to support AI development across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, agriculture, and agentic AI applications.
The infrastructure push reflects India’s broader efforts to build domestic AI compute capacity as enterprises and startups increasingly seek locally hosted AI infrastructure aligned with sovereign data and digital policy requirements.
Netweb Technologies is also launching Tyrone Camarero AI Supercomputing systems based on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell architecture under the government’s “Make in India” initiative.
Alongside infrastructure, NVIDIA is working with Indian startups, enterprises, and public institutions to develop sovereign AI models tailored to India’s multilingual and large-scale digital ecosystem.
The company said its Nemotron models and NeMo framework are being used by organizations including BharatGen, Sarvam.ai, Gnani.ai, CoRover.ai, National Payments Corporation of India, Tech Mahindra, and Zoho for multilingual AI, enterprise automation, speech AI, digital payments, and public-sector applications.
The company also highlighted work on India-specific datasets, including Nemotron-Personas-India, a synthetic dataset containing 21 million Indic personas generated using census data to support sovereign AI development at population scale.
Several of the AI initiatives are focused on Indic language support, low-cost AI inference, speech-to-speech systems, and AI models capable of operating in low-connectivity environments — areas increasingly viewed as critical for large-scale AI adoption across India.
In financial services, National Payments Corporation of India is exploring training its FiMi financial model using NVIDIA Nemotron technologies to support multilingual customer service across India’s banking ecosystem.
NVIDIA is also expanding partnerships with research institutions and venture capital firms to support India’s AI startup ecosystem. The company announced a collaboration with Anusandhan National Research Foundation to support AI for Science and Engineering programmes through software access, technical mentorship, workshops, and hackathons.
In parallel, NVIDIA is partnering with venture firms including Peak XV Partners, Accel, Nexus Venture Partners, Elevation Capital, and Z47 to support AI startups building products for India and global markets.
The announcements reinforce India’s emergence as a strategic market for AI infrastructure, sovereign AI development, and enterprise AI adoption as global technology companies deepen investments across the country’s expanding digital ecosystem.
