To achieve the goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy, NITI Aayog suggests setting up an AI-based cloud computing infrastructure known as AIRAWAT (AI Research, Analytics and knowledge Assimilation).
This platform will assist in the R&D of new technologies which will in turn help in solving business and governance use cases.
AIRAWAT will be based on the recommendations of the National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence (NSAI), which has identified areas that are hampering the growth potential of AI in India.
Given the fact that India’s AI computing is mostly dependent on vendors such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, AIRAWAT will provide the platform for not only specialized computing but also building infrastructures that will help the computing needs of innovation hubs and other research centers.
