NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, underscoring the company’s expanding ties to the world’s budding technological superpower India.
The meeting took place at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg, the official house of the Indian Prime Minister in New Delhi, as Modi gets ready to host a meeting of the G20 group of the world’s major countries, including U.S. President Joe Biden, later this week. The occasion, which marks Modi and Huang’s second meeting, highlights NVIDIA’s part in the nation’s quickly expanding technological sector.
