Fireside Chat with Rupesh Kumar Shah, ED – IT, HUDCO & Sumati Sahgal, VP – Data Centre & Secure Power, Schneider Electric
Moderator: Nivedan Prakash, Dy. Associate Editor, Express Computer
Topic: India’s Digital Infrastructure Opportunity: Building the Foundation for a $5 Trillion AI Economy
Key Highlights:
[1] Rupesh Kumar Shah, ED – IT, HUDCO:
+ AI is no longer just about algorithms, models and applications. The real question is whether we have the infrastructure and capacity to power AI at a national scale.
+ Digital infrastructure must be treated as national infrastructure — as fundamental to India’s future as roads, water, power and airports.
+ If AI is going to be the backbone of India’s growth, building the foundation for AI is not an option; it is a national priority.
[2] Sumati Sahgal, VP – Data Centre & Secure Power, Schneider Electric:
+ The future of AI depends not only on computing power, but on resilient power, renewable energy and energy storage that can support it at scale.
+ Digital infrastructure is becoming a national infrastructure priority — and India has the talent, resources and manufacturing capability to build it at scale.
+ The opportunity is enormous, but the real challenge is speed: building scalable, resilient infrastructure fast enough to keep pace with the evolution of AI.
