WATCH | Ashish Kumar on How India Should Play the AI Game | Escape Velocity | Episode 2
Ashish Kumar, Co-founder and General Partner at Fundamentum, discusses India’s evolving role in the global AI ecosystem and emphasises the country’s potential to develop not just AI applications but also foundational infrastructure over time. Although India may not immediately match the massive funding behind organisations like OpenAI or Anthropic, Kumar believes the nation can thrive by creating specialised use cases, “small language models,” and domain-specific AI solutions. This approach, he argues, demands relatively less capital and can still generate a significant impact.
