Google I/O Connect India 2025: Google brings its Gemini AI models to Indian developers
Google has announced a series of new initiatives and AI capabilities at Google I/O Connect India 2025, focussing on localising technology and fostering innovation. One of the key announcements was the localisation of data processing for Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash model in India. This move is designed to provide developers with stability and speed, which is critical for building applications in regulated sectors like healthcare and finance, where data residency and low latency are non-negotiable.
According to Dr. Manish Gupta, Senior Director for India and APAC at Google DeepMind, the role of Indian developers is crucial as they “are literally writing the next chapter of India’s success story.”.
