Why India Will NEVER Win the AI Race

You supported WhatsApp, not Hike. Google, not Guruji. Now AI is here, will we repeat the same mistake, or finally back our own?

Hello everyone, my name is Rohit and today, let’s talk about something important.

Can India really succeed in the AI race?

Now look, being optimistic is good. If China can do it, then yes, India can too. We also have a huge number of skilled developers and researchers.

So yes.. we can do it. Absolutely.

And it’s not like the Indian government or private companies aren’t trying. They are making efforts to ensure that India has its own AI ecosystem. But! but! but! it’s not as easy as it looks. The problems behind this are much deeper. That’s why I want you to read till the end, because I’m going to talk about not just the problem, but also the possible solutions.

Let’s talk about one Indian AI startup: Sarvam AI.

Right now, it’s one of the leading AI companies from India. And yes, it’s backed by the Indian government as well.

The word “Sarvam” means everything, and it comes from Sanskrit.
