US technology giant NVIDIA has formed a partnership with Indian conglomerates Reliance Industries and Tata Group to advance artificial intelligence (AI) in India.

With Reliance Industries, NVIDIA will build a supercomputing infrastructure to meet the computational demands for running AI workloads.

They will develop a foundation large language model trained on local languages and personalised for generative AI applications for the Indian market.

In addition, Reliance plans to build AI services and applications for their 450 million Jio subscribers and offer India’s researchers, developers, and entrepreneurs access to AI infrastructure.

NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang said: “With the most advanced AI computing infrastructure, Reliance can build its large language models that power generative AI applications made in India, for the people of India.”

Reliance Industries chairman and managing director Mukesh Ambani said: “As India advances from a country of data proliferation to creating technology infrastructure for widespread and accelerated growth, computing and technology super centres like the one we envisage with NVIDIA will provide the catalytic growth just like Jio did to our nation’s digital march.”
