The push is being driven by a thriving digital-native ecosystem, growing enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence and a shift by multinational companies to India-based development centres to tap the country’s talent pool, he said. “There is the evolution I have seen on the India side. Historically, people would talk about India much more as large kind of the TCS and Wipros of the world doing development .” (The reporter was in San Francisco for the Databricks Data+AI Summit at the invitation of the company.)
