At Stanford University's "Indiaspora AI Summit," members of the Indian diaspora, prominent businesspeople, and global experts praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan to make India an AI powerhouse. Many noted that the PM has a firm grasp on the revolutionary possibilities of AI, especially in areas such as agriculture, healthcare, and education—which are vital to societal progress and inclusive growth.

Renowned personalities including US Ambassador Eric Garcetti and millionaire Romesh Wadhwani were among the notable attendees at the summit, which was attended by CEOs, managing directors, technocrats, and academics from different industries.

It recognised India's rise as a tech powerhouse and a beloved location for startups, and it highlighted the country's outstanding economic progress. Kalaari Capital's Vani Kola lauded Modi's initiatives for making India a hub for startups, saying that they fostered a climate that was conducive to business.

„India has grasped the bull by the horns and concentrated on how AI can be a disruptive technology for India's growth story," stated Ajay Shah, co-head of TMT Investment Banking at Deutsche Bank, San Francisco. India is putting its emphasis on the benefits of AI rather than its possible drawbacks, reasoning that the technology has the ability to do great things when handled correctly.

"Over the past decade, we have transitioned from looking inward to looking outwards, and creating a platform that empowers every individual in India and across the world," said Priya Ramachandran, founder and managing partner of Foster Ventures, who was born and raised in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. It has helped transform India into a country that values and supports women and individuals of all backgrounds, hence promoting equality and fairness across the country.

“India is leading the way in technology globally today,” stated Rohit Jain, chief information officer of the Harvard Business School Alumni Association. In our opinion, Silicon Valley is where all the IT action is, but when it comes to artificial intelligence, India is where it's at.
