<p>Meanwhile, global tech giants are tapping into the potential that AI holds. <em><a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/ai-over-200-times-tech-earnings-calls/">Cryptopolitan</a></em> previously reported a major surge in the use of AI and related terms in earnings calls this year. Microsoft <a href="https://news.microsoft.com/es-xl/microsoft-announces-1-3-billion-usd-investment-in-cloud-and-ai-infrastructure-supporting-inclusive-growth-through-technology-and-skilling-programs-in-mexico/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">announced</a> a $1.3 billion investment in AI infrastructure in Mexico on Tuesday. CEO Satya Nadella noted that the company plans to democratize AI skills through initiatives like the Artificial Intelligence National Skills program, which plans to reach 5 million people in 3 years.</p> 
<p>At the same time, India is emerging as a major player in the <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/james-cameron-joins-stability-ais-board/">AI</a> sector. Recently, chiefs of Google and Nvidia met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/tech-giants-google-nvidia-to-enhance-ai-focus-investments-in-india/article68676353.ece" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">underlined</a> the potential of the South Asian country due to the talent in computer science, creating foundation in AI innovation. <em>“Artificial Intelligence is also a new industry, a new manufacturing industry. I’m looking forward to partnering with India in a very deep way,”</em> Huang stated.</p> 
<h3 id="india-is-strategically-placed-for-ai-innovation">India is strategically placed for AI innovation</h3> 
<p>German software maker SAP Labs’ Indian vertical has also stated it is escalating AI innovations from India. Managing Director Sindhu Gangadharan recently told a <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/companies/news/india-hub-driving-global-ai-innovation-new-campus-plans-on-track-sap-labs-124092401214_1.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">local paper</a> that India is the company’s largest R&amp;D hub outside Germany and there are plans for a new domestic campus.</p> 
<p>Adding to the momentum is another company called Qure.AI, an Indian startup specializing in <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/openai-expands-voice-assistant-to-paid-users/">AI-driven</a> healthcare solutions. The startup recently secured $65 million in funding and was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and 360 ONE Asset Management. SAP India previously released a study that found that <a href="https://news.sap.com/india/2024/07/77-of-indian-startups-are-investing-in-artificial-intelligence-and-advanced-technologies/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">77%</a> of Indian startups are investing in emerging tech. These companies are reportedly advancing spending in AI, ML, IoT, and blockchain. Therefore, there seems to be growing confidence in India’s capacity to lead in AI-driven solutions.</p>
