Microsoft has unveiled a $17.5 billion investment in India, aimed at developing advanced artificial intelligence infrastructure, marking the company’s largest investment in Asia to date. The funds will be directed toward building AI infrastructure, enhancing digital and technical skills, and strengthening India’s sovereign capabilities in emerging technologies.
CEO Satya Nadella emphasized that the investment reflects Microsoft’s commitment to supporting India’s ambitions in artificial intelligence and its role as a global technology leader. With India projected to surpass 900 million internet users by the end of the year, the country continues to attract significant international corporate investments.
This strategic move underscores growing confidence in India’s technology ecosystem and highlights its potential to become a central hub for AI innovation, research, and development in the coming years.
