India needs deeper AI research, greater computing power and patient capital to keep pace with the US and China, Times Internet chairman Satyan Gajwani told the ET Startup Awards, The Times of India reports.
Why it mattersThe diagnosis is pointed: ambitious founders are not enough if research lacks compute and investors expect quick returns. Gajwani also described a maturing startup scene, but offered no specific measure or funding commitment to close the AI gap. It is a useful snapshot of the ingredients industry leaders say India needs, not a plan with a price tag attached. Compute and patient capital rarely arrive just because a podium asks nicely.
Discuss: Which would make the biggest difference to India’s AI ambitions: more research funding, easier access to computing power, or investors willing to wait longer for returns?
