00:00Sundar Pichai, Sam Altman, Daira Amode, they're all gathering here in New Delhi, joined by
00:07world leaders and India's top business executives. Big announcements are expected, including
00:13updates on India's homegrown AI models. So why all this attention? Well, India has been
00:20on the radar of global tech firms for a while now and ranks third globally in AI competitiveness
00:26behind only the US and China. OpenAI and Anthropic are setting up operations here and it's already
00:33one of the fastest growing markets for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. To keep up with that demand,
00:40Google and Meta are expanding data centers. NVIDIA also has its sights set on India,
00:47especially as US export curves limit sales of its most advanced chips to China. It's not clear what
00:54all this momentum will ultimately deliver. If you talk to industry experts, they'll remind you there
01:00have been years of underinvestment in research and development that continues to hang over India's
01:07AI ambitions. For promising Narendra Modi, this is about more than AI. It's not just about showcasing
01:14India's engineering talent or its vast digital infrastructure. After a turbulent year at home,
01:22this summit is a chance to reset a narrative, reassert India's economic ambitions and strengthen its
01:29foothold in the global AI race. Now it comes down to this. Can India turn a late start into real
01:38influence in the next era of artificial intelligence?
