India and South Asia have noted that the nation’s AI sector is currently at a pivotal juncture. Given the increasing requirement for AI technologies across various industries, India has the potential to emerge as one of the leading global players in the AI market. However, significant hurdles like limited data availability, extensive linguistic variation encompassing more than 22 official languages, and economic disparities continue to pose substantial challenges.
While speaking at the 9th
Carnegie Global Tech Summit
on Friday,
Amith Singhe
e said, “Fostering an environment, especially in a country like India, where we have such a huge demand for AI, the potential is probably higher than in any country in the world. But the challenges are also very unique, with the diversity, data scarcity. We have 1000 dialects if you look beyond the 22 languages. And it’s not just the dialects, it’s the economic and social strata.”
He further said, “Deepseek was like a validation, more than a surprise to us, that you don’t need a billion dollars to build a model. If you get the engineering right, you can build these things.”
Lt. Gen
Raj Shukla
(Retd) Member of the Union Public Service Commission stated, ”

Is it now the case that open-source AI models are catching up with their proprietary American counterparts? The question remains whether these American models can successfully commercialize this technology exclusively or if they might falter.”
He added, “Deepseek stands out for multiple reasons. Its CEO secures financing from their parent organization, the leading Chinese investment firm. This enables Deepseek to concentrate on foundational research. Recently, if you’ve noticed Alibaba’s activities, they’ve been saturating the market with AI solutions for businesses and trade. Thus, the research aspect is complemented by applications in business and commerce.”

The nation can seize this chance to “probe deeply and examine our current position.”
“I like the word

as it’s a very vedantic concept that you seek within. And I think that’s what India should be doing. It may not have a

If queried about whether the administration was contemplating a potential prohibition of the Chinese AI system
DeepSeek
, similar to the Chinese social media application TikTok, Jaishankar stated he would prefer to remain non-committal for the time being.
“I will deliberately avoid giving a direct response. To be honest, I believe at present there has been no conclusion,” he stated.
Previously, on February 5, Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw stated that India would unveil its inaugural foundational artificial intelligence model within roughly 10 months. He mentioned that the government plans to launch an open-source model similar to China’s ‘

‘ on Indian servers.
This occurs as Chinese startups have begun challenging the global AI landscape. The minister emphasized the necessity of viewing India’s AI initiative from a broader perspective. He mentioned that India had sanctioned the AI mission the previous year, allocating approximately Rs 10,000 crore for it. (ANI)
