Microsoft and Nvidia have unveiled significant strategic investments in India's AI ecosystem, focusing on sovereign compute capacity and large-scale workforce upskilling. These moves signal a shift in the global AI supply chain as India emerges as a primary hub for both model development and infrastructure deployment.
At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Gnani.ai unveiled Inya VoiceOS, a 5-billion-parameter foundational voice-to-voice model. Developed under the ₹10,372-crore IndiaAI Mission, the model aims to revolutionize enterprise customer support with low-latency, emotionally resonant conversational AI.
NVIDIA is significantly expanding its footprint in India, positioning the country as a global hub for AI innovation through strategic partnerships with local cloud providers and developers. This expansion aligns with the $1B IndiaAI Mission, aiming to build sovereign AI infrastructure and foster a domestic ecosystem of AI-driven SaaS and services.
