India’s AI infrastructure falls short, needs more investments: VCs

India’s funding and technological infrastructure are inadequate for making the country a global leader in the high-growth sector of artificial intelligence (AI), said venture capitalists (VCs).

The deep technology will need longer funding cycles, they said at the Capital Connect 2025 event organised by TiE Delhi-NCR, a group promoting entrepreneurship. They highlighted critical gaps in infrastructure, including limited access to graphics processing units (GPUs), insufficient data centres, and few domestic large language models (LLM).
