Microsoft will invest $3 billion (about Rs 25,700 crore) to expand its cloud computing and artificial intelligence capabilities in India, its chief executive officer Satya Nadella said earlier this week. The tech giant will also train 10 million people in AI skills in India by 2030, Nadella said.

India must get into frontier work in artificial intelligence and build foundational models, but investment is a real entry barrier and just one mathematical breakthrough can change entire dynamics, Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella said.

This ambitious plan highlights Microsoft's confidence in India's potential to become a global leader in technology and AI innovation.
