What Is India's AI Growth Story Hiding?

Описание: Everyone argues about one fact: India does not have a top frontier AI model. And it is the second largest place on Earth where AI is used, about 100 million people a week. The usual take says the first fact cancels the second, that India is just a customer who can be cut off by whoever makes the product.

Announced commitments (Adani $100B, Microsoft $17.5B) are multi-year pledges, not money already spent. Jamnagar is reported between 1 GW and 3 GW (shown as "gigawatt-scale"). No claim that India has "won" AI is made anywhere.
