The entire intention of the country was to position itself as a leader of sorts in the global south, that this is the country to look at in terms of investment.
It's the world's most populous country.
with the 1.4 billion people, the world's largest youth population, over 800 million smartphone users.
So the message was that this is the market to look at.
This is the emerging market where AI is not just going to be consumed, but it's going to be created, built, and even exported.
That's why the focus has been on building infrastructure, strengthening existing infrastructure.
The kind of investments that we've heard about, for instance, from billionaire industrialists,
Gautam Adani talking about $100 billion in India for infrastructure investment.
You've got the Indian government talking about $200 billion coming in over the next two years for infrastructure investment.
So I think they've been trying to position itself as the country which is going to play a crucial role in sending up that message amidst concerns at the moment globally that given the adoption of AI has been uneven across the world,
This is one area which could offer a solution to make it even and ensure that developing nations, developing economies don't get left behind in the global AI race.
And I think that's the message which seems to have resonated because the kind of statements that we've heard coming in from...
the likes of OpenAI, for instance.
Sam Altman said that they have tremendous growing presence in India, and India appears to be one of their most crucial markets.
You had Antony Guterres of the UN, Secretary General, essentially saying that advancements in AI cannot be limited to just a handful of countries, but it has to move away from just a few billionaire businessmen.
And I think that's the message that's resonated, that it is the global south also which needs to play a pivoted role, and India, by hosting the summit, has tried to position itself
as the leader of sorts.
That's right.
Launching something called Manav, which literally translates into human, and essentially building on the fact that human capital must go hand in hand as you look at artificial intelligence and take strides in technology.
Once again, the kind of conversations that we've heard being centered around is that artificial intelligence cannot replace humans but must complement humans.
