In March this year, Nvidia’s Dhupar outlined that Nvidia is keen on partnering with more Indian companies to deploy its AI solutions.
Media reports state that Nvidia and its partners are also tapping India's creator economy — YouTubers, gamers, etc — with its advanced graphic processing unit (GPU) chips. It offers its GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs and provides validated Studio PCs through its system builder partners to the creators.
What makes the Nvidia products much sought after is that they are essential for developing Large Language Models (LLM) and building apps such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
