Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is scheduled to visit India with the aim of strengthening the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India and strengthening technological partnerships. Reuters quoted sources as saying that Nadella will visit Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore in December, where he will meet government officials, some industry figures and company employees.
Will attend AI conference
According to the information, Nadella will address many important conferences related to AI during his visit. Although, no official statement has come from the company regarding his visit yet, but this visit is considered very important strategically for Microsoft.
This visit is taking place at a time when relations between India and America are going through a new phase. Leaving behind recent differences, both the countries are emphasizing on technical partnership. On the other hand, the Indian government is promoting ‘Make in India’ apps and services, allowing Indian companies like Zoho Corporation to emerge as cheaper alternatives to giants like Microsoft.
Investment can increase in AI sector
Let us tell you, Nadella also came to India in January 2025 this year, where he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announced an investment of $ 3 billion in the AI ​​​​sector in the country. Now this December tour is being considered as another step towards taking his vision forward.
Competition regarding AI is increasing rapidly in India. Recently Google has announced to invest $15 billion in the next five years to set up an AI data center in Andhra Pradesh. At the same time, Microsoft-backed OpenAI has announced to provide one year free subscription of ChatGPT Go for Indian users. This visit of Nadella can give new impetus to the development of AI and cloud technology in India.
