Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is set to return to India in December, marking his second visit this year and reinforcing the company’s strategic commitment to one of its fastest-growing markets. During his trip, Nadella will speak at two major artificial intelligence conferences in Bengaluru and Mumbai, and hold high-level meetings with government officials in New Delhi. This visit comes less than a year after his previous trip in January 2025, when he announced a $3 billion investment to expand Microsoft’s AI and cloud capabilities across India, including new data centers and AI skilling programs aimed at positioning India as a global digital innovation hub. Nadella’s itinerary also includes engagements with key enterprise customers and Microsoft’s large India-based workforce, which exceeds 20,000 employees across 10 cities. Microsoft’s AI offerings, such as Copilot, are increasingly integrated into Indian enterprises, reflecting the rapid adoption of AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok in the country. The visit coincides with India’s push for digital sovereignty and the promotion of homegrown alternatives to global tech products, as well as ongoing trade discussions between the US and India. Industry observers note that Microsoft’s ability to localize its products, forge partnerships, and invest in local AI research will be crucial for its continued growth in India’s evolving tech landscape[1][2].
