In a move that signals both India's soaring digital ambition and the intensifying global battle for AI supremacy, Google announced on Tuesday one of its most significant international investments to date: a staggering $15 billion commitment to build a massive data center and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) hub in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
This landmark investment, to be deployed over the next five years, underscores a strategic pivot by the tech giant to cement its presence in one of the world's most critical growth markets and establish an unparalleled AI powerhouse outside the United States.
The announcement, made in New Delhi, was given a definitive scale by Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian. He confirmed that the planned AI hub would be "the largest that we are going to be investing in anywhere in the world outside of the U.S." This declaration immediately elevates India's status in the global technology landscape, positioning it as a central node in the future of AI development and computation.
