NVIDIA has revealed the dates of its AI Summit 2024, which will be held at Mumbai, India’s Jio World Convention Centre, from October 23 to October 25. Three days of talks, interactive workshops, and networking events will comprise the summit, which aims to bring together industry professionals and investigate developments in artificial intelligence.
Vishal Dhupar, general director of Asia South NVIDIA, said, “It’s going to be an exciting experience for the tech community, and I’m especially proud to be hosting the summit in India.”
For the occasion, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will especially travel to India and participate in a fireside conversation. Huang’s visit comes after NVIDIA’s alliances with Tata, Infosys, and Reliance were revealed last year to reskill IT workers and foster India’s AI startup scene.

NVIDIA has started supplying its newest chips, including the GH200 AI, to Indian partners developing AI-cloud infrastructure, including Tata Communications and Jio Platforms. According to A.S. Lakshminarayanan, the CEO and Managing Director of Tata Communications, the installation of NVIDIA’s AI Cloud is currently underway, with a full launch anticipated by the third quarter of this fiscal year.
The most recent developments from NVIDIA will be on display at the summit, including the highly anticipated B100 chip, which is expected to outperform the H100 in many ways. Visitors can examine NVIDIA’s array of artificial intelligence products, which are intended to hasten innovation in domains such as industrial digitalization, robotics, and healthcare.
To train 50,000 workers on NVIDIA’s AI technology and integrate these tools with Infosys Topaz to create generative AI solutions for businesses, Infosys and NVIDIA extended their cooperation last year.

When visiting India last year, Huang mentioned the range of languages and dialects, stating that the country “has lots of data.” “India does not need to export data to Western companies,” he declared.
He thinks India is capable of producing foundational models and internal LLMs. “Every piece of data you own is yours. You possess a remarkable aptitude for computer science. You have the proper infrastructure to develop more computer scientists than any other country, and you also generate more of them than any other. I take it you have the infrastructure for that? Jensen referred to IITs as “actual intelligence,” or AI.
He did, however, acknowledge that India is lacking in AI infrastructure—”not the roads and bridges kind.” He added that this has also been addressed with the arrival of NVIDIA supercomputers. Everything you require to develop and employ AI is at your disposal. But infrastructure is a must. “This is now the production of intelligence, just like electric power plants and steam engines,” he said.

Subsequently, the Indian government is actively promoting the development of AI through the IndiaAI mission, which was introduced in March 2024, and intends to establish India as a global leader in AI through infrastructure investments and startup support. A total of INR 10,300 crore will be invested as part of the objective to increase GPU accessibility and build out AI infrastructure.
Yotta got the first batch of 4,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs in March 2024. After announcing last year that it would purchase 24,000 GPUs, including NVIDIA H100s and L40S, Yotta intends to gradually increase its GPU inventory to 32,768 units by the end of 2025.
