Microsoft chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) Satya Nadella is in India, promoting the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) tools – Copilot, agentic AI, and datasets – and urging the government and domestic businesses to adopt them.
Microsoft’s big push follows rival Google’s recent $15-billion investment to set up a one-gigawatt (GW) data centre in India, signalling a rising competition among global tech giants to dominate the country’s fast-growing digital market.
