New Delhi: Microsoft on Tuesday said that India is uniquely positioned to lead the next phase of global artificial intelligence (AI) deployment, driven by a massive developer base, rapid enterprise adoption, and robust digital public infrastructure. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe next phase of AI won’t be defined by who builds the best models, but by who can deploy them at scale with trust, speed, and real-world impact. India is uniquely positioned for that shift, and increasingly, it’s where that future is taking shape,\u201d said Jay Parikh, executive vice president of CoreAI at Microsoft in his official blog. <\/p>\n
Open-source projects built in India such as Hyperswitch, ERPNext, ToolJet and Bruno are now being utilised by developers worldwide. \u201cDevelopers in India are the second-largest contributors to open source globally, with more than 7.5 million contributions to AI-specific projects,\u201d Parikh said. <\/p>\n
Highlighting the country’s rapid enterprise adoption, Parikh also cited Deloitte’s 2026 enterprise AI survey, which ranks India first out of 15 countries on at-scale AI adoption. According to the survey, 40 per cent of Indian respondents report significant or full AI use, compared to a global average of 28 per cent. <\/p>\n
Underpinning India\u2019s growth in digital public infrastructure, Parikh also said that over the past decade, India has built identity, payments, and data platforms operating at population scale. \u201cUPI, India’s digital payments system, now processes more than 20 billion transactions a month, roughly half of all real-time payments globally,\u201d Parikh added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Delhi: Microsoft on Tuesday said that India is uniquely positioned to lead the next phase of global…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[25,420,7829,14585,30534,30533,320,7828],"class_list":["post-51621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-microsoft","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-azure","tag-azure-ai","tag-digital-payments","tag-erpnext","tag-hyperswitch","tag-microsoft","tag-microsoft-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
