Infosys Likely to Partner with NVIDIA to Train 3 Lakh+ Employees in AI

Indian IT company Infosys is likely to partner with NVIDIA to use its infrastructure and capabilities to build AI models and applications, alongside reskilling 3 lakh+ employees in AI, hinted NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang in a recent interaction with AIM.

This development comes on the heels of NVIDIA's recently announced partnerships with Reliance and Tata where both of the Indian tech giants will be working with NVIDIA to build one of the largest AI infrastructure in India using NVIDIA’s GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and NVIDIA DGX™ Cloud which is an AI supercomputing service in the cloud. 

Like Infosys, TCS had previously made an announcement about its plans to enhance the skills of its 600,000+ employees through its partnership with NVIDIA.

On his recent visit to India Huang met with influential tech leaders in India, including Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, startup innovators, AI advocates, and key players in India's digital infrastructure. He expressed his excitement, saying that India is on the verge of becoming a major player in the global AI field.

Huang emphasized India’s strength in information technology and the potential for AI to accelerate the development of the nation’s IT industry. “IT is one of your natural resources. You produce it at an incredible scale. You’re incredibly good at it. You export it all over the world,” Huang said.

Earlier this year Infosys launched Topaz, an AI-focused suite with 12,000 use cases, enabling industry-specific solutions in intelligent automation, AI-driven customer service, and enhanced security. Topaz helps businesses adopt open-source LLMs to build narrow transformers, solving specific enterprise challenges and driving growth. Infosys Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh had mentioned that there are 50 client projects where the company is using generative AI.
