Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes that artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, particularly data centres, could drive job creation in India on a scale similar to the internet.
Addressing questions from the Indian media at a recent press conference, Huang stated that the AI infrastructure will generate employment across construction, supply chains, operations, and innovation, alongside direct jobs.
This comes at a time when the Union Budget 2026 extended tax holidays until 2047 for foreign firms using data centres based in India, a move expected to attract up to $200 billion in investment.
The country already has significant commitments from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Huang termed AI the foundational infrastructure for the next wave of industrialisation.
Meanwhile, Nvidia also announced a partnership with Dassault Systèmes at the 3DEXPERIENCE event in Houston. Dassault, through its ‘outscale’ cloud, is deploying AI factories powered by Nvidia infrastructure across three continents to run AI models within the platform.
"Together with Dassault Systèmes, we are uniting decades of industrial leadership with Nvidia’s AI and Omniverse platforms to transform how millions of researchers, designers, and engineers build the world’s largest industries," Huang said in a statement.
AI major Nvidia will use Dassault Systèmes’ model-based systems engineering to design these AI factories, starting with its Rubin platform and integrating into the Omniverse DSX Blueprint.
"Together with Nvidia, we are building industry world models that unite virtual twins and accelerated computing to help industry design, simulate, and operate complex systems in biology, materials science, engineering, and manufacturing with confidence," said Pascal Daloz, CEO, Dassault Systèmes, in a prepared statement.
