Adani and Microsoft join the party
Gautam Adani is adding another $100 billion by 2035 for renewable data centers—helping create a $250 billion ecosystem when you count all the ripple effects on servers and cloud infrastructure.
Microsoft is pitching in too, pledging $50 billion to expand AI access for lower-income nations.
Google and Infosys are also in the mix
Google is rolling out a new America-India Connect fiber-optic cable to boost global connectivity.
Anthropic's CEO addressed the summit, and Infosys was listed among participating companies.
These global partnerships are putting India firmly on the map as an emerging leader in AI.
India is building its own AI models

The focus: building affordable, scalable AI that tackles real issues like farming, healthcare, education, and financial inclusion.
It's all about making sure India shapes its own digital future.
