100-word summary
At the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, tech giants Google, Microsoft, and Amazon pledged $68 billion in AI infrastructure through 2030. But the real shock came from Indian billionaires: Reliance committed $110 billion over seven years, while Adani unveiled a $100 billion plan for renewable-powered AI data centers by 2035. Add Yotta's $2 billion Nvidia chip hub and TCS partnering with OpenAI on a Stargate data center, and India is racing to become the AI infrastructure capital of the Global South. This positions India as a critical third pole in the AI race, potentially reshaping where innovation happens next.
