Leading GPU maker Nvidia's co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the rich potential India offers in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). This is the second meeting between Modi and Jensen that seems to highlight Nvidia's role in the country’s fast-growing technology industry.

Santa Clara, California-headquartered Nvidia was founded by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, with a vision to bring 3D graphics to the gaming and multimedia markets.

"Had an excellent meeting with Mr. Jensen Huang, the CEO of @nvidia. We talked at length about the rich potential India offers in the world of AI. Mr. Jensen Huang was appreciative of the strides India has made in this sector and was equally upbeat about the talented youth of India," PM posted from his X (formerly Twitter) handle.

Following the Nvidia co-founder's meeting with Modi, he met with several dozen researchers from global powerhouses of science and technology, such as the Indian Institute of Science and the various campuses of the Indian Institute of Technology, for an informal dinner.

"The attendees represented a dazzling collection of some of the top minds in fields as diverse as large language models, astrophysics, medicine, quantum computing, and natural language processing," the company wrote in a blog post.

Nvidia started operations in India in 2004 in Bengaluru. India is now home to four engineering development centres in Gurugram, Hyderabad, Pune and Bengaluru. There are now more than 3,800 employees in India. In addition, there are more than 320,000 India-based developers in Nvidia’s developer programme. Nvidia’s CUDA parallel programming platform is downloaded roughly 40,000 times a month in India, and Nvidia estimates there are 60,000 experienced CUDA developers in India.
