Big Tech bets big on India's AI and cloud future

Business Dec 10, 2025

India is quickly becoming a hotspot for global tech giants, with Microsoft investing $17.5 billion solely on AI, Amazon investing $35 billion to boost exports, AI and digitalization, and job creation, and Google planning a $15 billion AI and gigawatt data center facility in Visakhapatnam, the largest outside the US.
Despite some trade hurdles, everyone wants a piece of India's fast-growing digital scene.

Why all the hype?

With over a billion internet users and tons of tech talent, India is hard to ignore.
Friendly government policies and new rules around data are making it even easier for companies to set up shop.
Plus, India's location gives it an edge as global supply chains look beyond China—making the country a key player in the world's tech future.
