India earmarked $1.1 billion for a government-backed AI fund.
Plus, the summit saw launches of new platforms, Anthropic opening its first office in Bengaluru, and India expected to join Pax Silica—a US-led group focused on making chip supply chains stronger.

With emphasis on "Sovereign AI" and big money flowing into tech, India is betting big on homegrown innovation for health, agriculture, and beyond.
