Google DeepMind's executive Manish Gupta said India needs more AI startups like Sarvam and Emergent, urging them to raise their ambitions to build the world's best AI models. Stressing higher R&D spending, he added, "The Indian industry spends close to 0.35%...If you look at China and the US the numbers are 3%." Sarvam AI is an Indian sovereign AI startup.
