Microsoft has announced a $17.5 billion investment in India’s cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure over four years, marking the tech giant’s largest Asian investment. CEO Satya Nadella met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss India’s AI ambitions. The funds will expand data centers, integrate AI into national platforms, and train 20 million Indians by 2030.
