Shared AI infrastructure to boost innovation

The GPU deployment is part of the Centre’s IndiaAI Mission, which focuses on building shared computing infrastructure to democratise access to high-end technology. The facility will allow organisations to utilise GPUs for AI model training, application development, and large-scale deployment without the need for heavy upfront investments. Officials said the initiative is expected to significantly reduce costs and time associated with acquiring advanced computing systems, while enabling faster innovation and adoption of AI-driven solutions across sectors.
