Perplexity AI CEO Advocates for India's Indigenous AI Model Development
Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, urges India to cultivate its foundational AI models, infrastructure, and talent to remain globally competitive. Contrasting with Nandan Nilekani, who recommends focusing on application development using existing models, Srinivas highlights the Indian government’s IndiaAI Mission aimed at creating indigenous AI models. The IndiaAI Mission includes GPU procurement plans and a significant budget commitment by the government. Additionally, Perplexity AI is collaborating with Paytm and IITs to expand its presence in India.
