India boasts the largest number of developers globally, the highest number of silicon designers, the most extensive amount of data, and the largest IT services industry in the world, noted the CEO of Ola Electric.

Aggarwal highlighted India's strategic move towards AI leadership, pointing out that the India AI Mission has been approved with an outlay of Rs 103.72 billion. Of this, Rs 20 billion is allocated to support the Indian startup ecosystem in developing indigenous AI-based solutions.
