India is struggling to develop its own artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, with only 20% of AI researchers born in the country, compared to 40% in the United States and 60% in China. This underinvestment has resulted in a significant gap in AI innovation, with Indian companies relying heavily on foreign talent.
According to a recent study, India’s AI research output is significantly lower than that of the US and China, with only 1,300 papers published in top-tier conferences in 2020, compared to 10,000 in the US and 5,000 in China. The country’s lack of investment in AI education and training is a major contributing factor, with only 2% of Indian students pursuing higher education in AI-related fields.
Despite these challenges, India is home to some innovative AI startups, including those focused on healthcare and finance. However, the country’s AI ecosystem remains largely dependent on foreign talent and funding, highlighting the need for increased investment in AI research and development.

Jul 3 As Indian companies rapidly adopt AI, internal auditors warn of weak controls, ethical gaps, & board-level unawareness. Risks include biased outputs, privacy breaches etc. India’s AI usage rate is 65%, twice the global average

Jul 1 India is behind in deep tech, defense or hardware because it lacks resources/micro grants which can at least help them to make a prototype/mvp to show and raise funds for later.
So I’m planning to start a micro grant, DM me if you want to help,

Jul 2 Not a surprise, but India trails heavily behind the US, China, and Europe in AI, Biotechnology, Semiconductors, Space, and Quantum. https://thehindu.com/data/india-trails-in-critical-tech-particularly-semiconductor-tech/article69732240.ece/amp/…

Jul 3 There’s a huge gap in scientific infrastructure—no communication between host institutes and funding agencies. Researchers face constant challenges, but higher authorities remain indifferent.

PhD scholars are struggling too

Jun 29 Only 20% of the top AI Indian researchers remain India. We’re going to be left far behind in AI.
