New Delhi, May 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) India-based founders are building AI for global customers in close collaboration with partners and investors worldwide, Jay Parikh, Executive Vice President of CoreAI at Microsoft said on Tuesday.
India combines developer velocity and scale, rapid enterprise adoption of AI and digital public infrastructure that uniquely position the country to deploy AI at population scale, Parikh said.
He mentioned GitHub’s community in India of over 27 million developers, with over 2 million joining the platform in 2026, and noted Indian developers are the second‑largest contributors to open source globally with over 7.5 million contributions to AI‑specific projects.
"India didn’t lead the first wave of technological innovation -- but it built one of the world’s most important developer ecosystems and turned that foundation into a global engine of scale through the IT services industry,” Executive VC of CoreAI said in a blog post.
According to Parikh, Rahul Regulapati, the founder and CEO of Galleri5, exemplifies the new kind of builder in the agentic AI era with deep technical skills, as his studio released India’s first AI‑generated television series.
Indian companies are moving AI from experiment to production faster than most others in the rest of the world, the post said, adding that as of November 2025, 47 per cent of Indian enterprises have multiple generative AI use cases live in production, with another 23 per cent in the pilot phase.
As AI converges with DPI, India races to become the world’s first large-scale AI public infrastructure, where intelligent systems are embedded across sectors from financial services to healthcare and education.
“The next phase of AI won’t be defined by who builds the best models, but by who can deploy them at scale with trust, speed, and real-world impact. India is uniquely positioned for that shift, and increasingly, it’s where that future is taking shape,” the post said.
Deloitte’s 2026 enterprise AI survey ranked India first out of 15 countries on at-scale AI adoption, and 40 per cent of Indian respondents report significant or full AI use, against a global average of 28 per cent.
