Bengaluru is set to develop India’s first foundational artificial intelligence model, said Union Minister Rajnath Singh at the inaugural session of Invest Karnataka 2025.
Singh emphasised Bengaluru’s long standing reputation as India’s technology hub, highlighting its leadership in pioneering industries.
“Just as the city of India laid its software and technology foundation, I am confident that in the near future, Bengaluru will give India its first foundational AI model,” he said, underlining the government’s focus on AI as a catalyst for economic and industrial growth.
Singh commended Bengaluru’s contributions to India’s global standing, citing its established expertise in aerospace, information technology, and AI.
“As India, Bengaluru not only creates the future of India but also saves it, driving progress at national and global scale,” he noted.
Reassuring investors about India’s evolving business environment, Singh stressed the government’s efforts to eliminate bureaucratic obstacles.
“Today, India no longer presents red tape to investors. Instead, we roll out a red carpet for them,” he remarked.
The event has brought together industry leaders and investors such as Anand Mahindra, Kiran Mazumdar, Pralhal Joshi, and many more.
