IBM CEO Defends India's Enterprise AI Strategy

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna defended India's position in global AI, arguing Indian firms focus on enterprise-scale applications rather than costly foundational models. He said trillion-parameter models will become commoditised and questioned an estimated $8 trillion infrastructure spend, while Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw noted nearly 40,000 GPUs allocated under the IndiaAI Mission and sovereign model consortia ahead of February 2026.
