Nvidia on Thursday announced that it has entered into a partnership with Reliance Industries, India's second-largest consortium and owned by Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, to jointly build artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in India and will drive adoption of the technology in the world's most populous country.
