Who Will Build India's $250B AI Dream?

At the India AI Impact Summit, commitments total about $250 billion with major partnerships (Google, Microsoft; Infosys with Anthropic; TCS with OpenAI; HCLTech with OpenAI) and a ready AI platforms ecosystem, but analysts warn of a severe talent shortage: India needs roughly 25,000 AI Agent Developers (only ~3,000 available) and AI Agent Architects are in even shorter supply. Digital Edify positions itself as a scalable solution, training over 100,000 professionals and launching an AI Agent Center of Excellence to close the gap as the AI boom accelerates.

Delhi AI Summit Shifts from Safety to Dealmaking

The Delhi AI summit has grown from a narrow safety-focused discussion to a vast dealmaking marketplace, with a draft final declaration reportedly omitting the word “safety.” Major powers and tech leaders are there to attract talent and investment rather than to forge binding safeguards, reflecting a geopolitical and commercial shift that could fragment global AI governance and push discussions into alternative forums like COP- or G7-style formats.

Nvidia-OpenAI $100B plan fizzles into non-binding talks

A September 2025 letter of intent for Nvidia to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI’s AI infrastructure has not materialized; Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says the figure was never a commitment, and Reuters reports OpenAI has been seeking alternatives and citing Nvidia chip speed concerns for inference. OpenAI has since struck deals with Cerebras, Groq, AMD, and Broadcom to diversify compute, while Nvidia emphasizes a large future investment but not at that scale. The news triggered a stock dip for Nvidia and highlighted questions about timing and strategic fit.

Nvidia Signals Major OpenAI Bet as AI Funding Talks Intensify

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hinted at a huge, potentially record investment in OpenAI as the company pursues a funding round that could value OpenAI around $750 billion and attract up to $100 billion from investors, including Nvidia. Nvidia had previously pledged up to $100 billion for OpenAI’s 10 GW of data centers. The comments come amid questions about circular AI deals and OpenAI’s IPO plans, but Huang denied reports of a failed deal and the exact size of Nvidia’s investment remains undisclosed.

Nvidia rethinks OpenAI bet as $100B plan stalls

The Wall Street Journal reports Nvidia’s plan to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI has stalled as executives question the deal; Jensen Huang says the $100B figure was never a binding commitment, and Nvidia wants to avoid being seen as overly dependent on OpenAI or paying an “OpenAI valuation tax.” Nvidia will still participate in OpenAI’s current funding round (potentially the largest investment it’s ever made), but there has been little progress since September as the two firms reassess the partnership amid competition from Google and Anthropic.
