NVIDIA partners with Reliance and Tata Group to build AI Infra in India.

US-based chipmaker NVIDIA has inked partnerships with India’s biggest conglomerates, Reliance Industries and Tata Group, to build artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in India and upskill and reskill the country’s talent base, said Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia.

With Reliance, it will develop India’s own foundational large language model trained on the nation’s diverse languages and tailored for generative AI applications to serve the populous nation. Nvidia will provide Al supercomputing services and technologies.

Reliance will create Al applications and services for their 450 million Jio customers and provide energy-efficient Al infrastructure to scientists, developers, and start-ups across India, said Huang. The Al infrastructure will be hosted in Al-ready computing data centers that will eventually expand to 2,000 MW. Execution and implementation will be managed by Jio.

“As India advances from a country of data proliferation to creating technology infrastructure for widespread and accelerated growth, computing and technology super centres like the one we envisage with NVIDIA will provide the catalytic growth just like Jio did to our nation’s digital march,” said Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries.
