Tech giant, Microsoft, is set to take AI adoption a notch higher as it announced plans to train 2 million Indians in AI. This comes amid its recent strides in developing AI solutions.

In a recent update by the company’s CEO, Satya Nadella, speaking at a corporate event in Mumbai on Wednesday, he describes India as pivotal to achieving Microsoft’s increasing list of goals towards AI advancement. Seeing how the South Asian nation has been at the forefront of AI development on GitHub, it is a move in the right direction to train 2 million Indians across small-scale cities and towns as early as next year.

Nadella in the 35-minute address encouraged businesses to start exploring ways to integrate AI in their operations to boost productivity and refine their products. Also in the address, was the CEO’s rare moment of reality check coming at a time that saw him pitch a lineup of AI offerings to leaders belonging to India’s biggest companies.

The executive head hailed India as a nation that has been intentional about technological advancements and urged them to channel more effort towards AI development. “This new capabilities of AI will rub off positively on GDP,” he said.

Born in India, it is more reason why Nadella is passionate about India taking the front seat in this innovation. He implored the IT nation to dream big and go after achieving this dream like their lives depend on it. India is not just incredible, we are credible as well, he elaborated.
