NVIDIA has picked CloudThat, a Bengaluru-based technology training and consulting firm, as its first education services partner in India, marking a key milestone in the country’s fast-growing AI skilling ecosystem.
With this partnership, CloudThat has become the first edtech company in India authorised to deliver NVIDIA’s official education programmes focused on AI and accelerated computing. The move comes at a time when India is stepping up investments in AI infrastructure and talent development to position itself as a global AI hub.
Under the collaboration, CloudThat will offer NVIDIA’s training courses to enterprises, academic institutions and individual learners. The programmes are aimed at building practical expertise in developing, training, optimising and deploying AI systems across real-world use cases, including computer vision, natural language processing, generative AI and large-scale production deployments.
The courses will be led by CloudThat’s instructors, including India’s first two NVIDIA-certified trainers, and will provide learners access to NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem, such as GPU-accelerated labs, curated development environments, pre-built models, and specialised workflow tools.
The announcement follows NVIDIA’s India tour in 2024, during which the company’s leadership visited CloudThat’s Bengaluru headquarters. In Mumbai, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang remarked, “This is India’s moment. You have to seize the opportunity,” adding that the country should focus on building AI systems rooted in its own data rather than exporting data and importing intelligence.
Commenting on the partnership, CloudThat founder and CEO Bhavesh Goswami said India’s AI ambitions will depend as much on skilled talent as on infrastructure. “With India investing heavily in GPU infrastructure, the next critical step is to develop the skilled talent required to unlock its full potential,” he said, adding that the collaboration aims to prepare the next generation of AI professionals across sectors.
The partnership is expected to support growing demand for AI talent across IT services, banking and financial services, manufacturing, retail and the public sector, while opening up career pathways in AI engineering, data science, MLOps robotics, and AI infrastructure.
