NVIDIA on Wednesday unveiled a series of strategic collaborations with Indian cloud infrastructure companies and startups at the ongoing AI Impact Summit, highlighting its growing commitment to strengthening India’s artificial intelligence ecosystem.

The announcements were made on the third day of the summit being held at Bharat Mandapam in the national capital, where the company detailed initiatives aimed at expanding domestic AI computing capacity and accelerating AI-driven innovation.

Cloud Infrastructure Expansion in India

As part of the newly announced collaborations, cloud service provider Yotta revealed plans to deploy more than 20,000 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs across its data centre facilities in Navi Mumbai and Greater Noida. The large-scale deployment is expected to enhance high-performance AI cloud services in India, offering enterprises, researchers and startups access to advanced AI compute resources through a pay-per-use model.

As per the announcement  integration of Nvidia’s Blackwell GPU cluster into its TIR removeplatform, hosted at the L&T Vyoma Data Centre in Chennai. The platform will utilise Nvidia’s GX B200 systems along with Nvidia’s AI software stack and Nemotron open-weight models to support AI model training, fine-tuning and high-scale inference workloads.

The company stated that these collaborations are part of its broader strategy to build scalable and locally accessible AI infrastructure to meet the rising demand for generative AI and large language model development in India.

Rising Adoption Among Indian Startups and Enterprises

Nvidia also highlighted the growing adoption of its AI frameworks and models by Indian startups, research institutions and enterprises.

Organisations including BharatGen (led by IIT Bombay), CoRover.ai, Gnani.ai, Sarvam.ai, Soket.ai, and Zoho are leveraging Nvidia’s Nemo framework and Nemotron models to develop AI solutions across language processing, speech recognition and enterprise automation.

These deployments span various stages of AI development, including pre-training, reinforcement learning and large-scale inference.

NPCI to Develop Financial AI Model

In a separate development, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) announced plans to use Nvidia’s Nemotron 3 Nano model and Nemo tools to build a financial services-focused AI model named ‘Fimi’.

The model is intended to support multilingual customer interactions across India’s digital payments ecosystem, including services linked to the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), with the aim of enhancing customer support and operational efficiency.

Strengthening India’s AI Ecosystem

The announcements come amid growing efforts to expand India’s AI capabilities and strengthen sovereign computing infrastructure. Nvidia’s expanded partnerships with Indian cloud providers and technology startups reflect the country’s increasing strategic importance in the global AI landscape.

Industry observers note that improved access to advanced compute resources could accelerate domestic AI innovation and support the development of solutions tailored to India’s diverse linguistic and enterprise needs.
