🔥 Compute as a Bond 🔥

India’s UPI moment in generative AI has finally arrived, but deploying it at scale requires the right infrastructure.

The Indian government recently struck a deal with NVIDIA to procure 10,000 GPUs and offer them to local startups, researchers, academic institutions, and other users at a subsidised rate under its INR 10,000 crore India AI Mission. 

Former chief architect of Aadhaar Pramod Varma described it as quite ‘tricky’ to evaluate which startups will receive how many GPUs.
