AI firms want India to fast-track compute infra

Artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and software companies like AMD, Nvidia, Ola Krutrim, Reliance Jio, Microsoft, People + AI and Yotta have urged the government to expedite creating compute infrastructure in the country as well as focus on sovereignty in AI systems.

This assumes significance as the government is looking to create a compute infrastructure through procurement of graphic processing units (GPUs) for startups that are looking for a variety of these chips to train their models. In absence of any funding support from venture capitals, currently a lot of startups are not getting access to the right compute infra.
