The model is based on Nvidia's Nemotron-4-Mini-Hindi-4B, a four-billion-parameter linguistic small-language model, trained with "real-world Hindi data, synthetic Hindi data and an equal amount of English data". 

Besides Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced go-to-market enterprise solutions for automotive, manufacturing, telecommunications, financial and retail markets. It has trained "50,000+ AI associates" to help clients upskill and implement AI strategies. 

Wipro has built a generative AI studio with Nvidia AI enterprise solutions to accelerate use cases in supply chains, user agents, retail and more. Infosys Topaz will help companies integrate generative AI into their workflows. Reliance and Ola Electric announced they would use Nvidia's Omniverse simulation technology to test factory plans before deployment. 

As reported by Reuters, Speaking at the ongoing Nvidia AI Summit in Mumbai, CEO Jensen Huang said that by the end of this year, India will have "20 times more compute power than just a little over a year ago".
