Nvidia, a major AI chipmaker headquartered in the US, has begun distributing its latest AI chips, including the GH200 AI, to prominent Indian companies such as Tata Communications and Jio Platforms. These firms are actively building AI-focused cloud infrastructure within India.
A report from Moneycontrol includes a statement from Vishal Dhupar, Nvidia’s Managing Director for South Asia, confirming that “the deployment by our partners is underway, and we are actively delivering products to them.” There have been previous concerns about Nvidia’s timely delivery of chips amidst intense competition in the AI sector.
In a significant move last September, Nvidia announced collaborations with the Tata and Reliance groups to bolster the development of AI-driven supercomputers, AI clouds, and generative AI applications. AS Lakshminarayanan, CEO of Tata Communications, acknowledged the receipt and installation of some of these chips.
He further projected that a comprehensive launch of their AI Cloud, in partnership with Nvidia, would be ready by the third quarter of this financial year, initially targeting a select group of customers.
Additionally, Yotta Data Services, part of the Hiranandani Group, disclosed its acquisition of the first 4,000 H100 Tensor Core GPUs from Nvidia in March, with plans to increase its GPU inventory to 32,768 units by 2025.
The GH200 Grace Hopper platform by Nvidia, named after the pioneering computer scientist, integrates advanced technologies to enhance performance and efficiency in AI, high-performance computing, and data analytics.
Focusing on the competitive landscape, Dhupar highlighted Nvidia’s dedication to tackling major challenges in India through strategic partnerships and the innovative application of Nvidia’s technology. Unlike its competitors Intel and AMD, Nvidia is more invested in developing new markets and industries that contribute positively to the economy rather than just focusing on market share.
