Underscoring NVIDIA\u2019s growing relationship with the global technology superpower, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The meeting at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg \u2014 as the Prime Minister\u2019s official residence in New Delhi is known \u2014 comes as Modi prepares to host a gathering of leaders from the G20 group of the world\u2019s largest economies, including U.S. President Joe Biden, later this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad an excellent meeting with Mr. Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA,\u201d Modi said in a social media post<\/a>. \u201cWe talked at length about the rich potential India offers in the world of AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event marks <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/a> the second meeting between Modi and Huang, highlighting NVIDIA\u2019s role in the country\u2019s fast-growing technology industry.<\/p>\n

The meeting with Modi comes just a week after India became the first nation to successfully land on the Moon\u2019s south pole, highlighting the expanding technological capabilities of the world\u2019s largest democracy.<\/p>\n

Following Huang\u2019s meeting with Modi, Huang met with several dozen researchers from global powerhouses of science and technology, such as the Indian Institute of Science and the various campuses of the Indian Institute of Technology, for an informal dinner.<\/p>\n

The attendees represented a dazzling collection of some of the top minds in fields as diverse as large language models, astrophysics, medicine, quantum computing, and natural language processing.<\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s discussions ranged across topics from the use of technology to address language barriers, improve agriculture yields, bridge gaps in health care services and transform digital economies \u2014 as well as addressing some of the grand scientific challenges of our time.<\/p>\n

NVIDIA has deep ties to India.<\/p>\n

NVIDIA began operations in India in 2004 in Bangalore, almost two decades ago. India is now home to four engineering development centers in India \u2014 in Gurugram, Hyderabad, Pune and Bengaluru \u00a0\u2014 and there are now more than 3,800 NVIDIANs in India.<\/p>\n

In addition, there are more than 320,000 India-based developers in NVIDIA\u2019s developer program. NVIDIA\u2019s CUDA parallel programming platform is downloaded roughly 40,000 times a month in India, and NVIDIA estimates there are 60,000 experienced CUDA developers in India.<\/p>\n

That growth comes as India\u2019s government continues to expand the nation\u2019s information technology infrastructure.<\/p>\n

For example, a compute grid is expected to link 20 cities across the country soon, helping researchers and scientists collaborate and share data and computing resources more efficiently.<\/p>\n

That effort, in turn, promises to help support India\u2019s ambitious development goals in the years to come.<\/p>\n

Modi has set a target of 2030 for India to become the world\u2019s third-largest economy. It\u2019s currently the fifth largest.<\/p>\n

And Modi has set a target of 2047, the hundredth anniversary of India\u2019s independence, for the South Asian nation to join the ranks of developed economies.<\/p>\n
