Elevate Ecosystem

Anthropic's Claude models, Opus 5, Sonnet 5 and Haiku 4.5, are now live with in country inferencing on #AmazonBedrock in India. Combined with OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna, which have been running locally since mid August, two of the worlds most advanced #AI model families now offer full in-country #data processing on a single #platform - Amazon Bedrock.

It was a privilege to meet Hon'ble Union Finance Minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman today. India stands at a remarkable inflection point where its #digital and #financial #transformation is leading the way globally, and our conversation could not have been more timely. We spoke about India's financial #inclusion revolution, a story unmatched anywhere in the world, and how Amazon Web Services (AWS) is working alongside financial institutions to harness #AI and advanced #data #technologies to automate decision-making and expand access to financial services at population scale. We also shared our deepening commitment to India. Amazon recently announced $13 billion in additional investments to expand local AI and cloud infrastructure in the country by 2030, taking our total planned investment to over $21 billion between 2026 and 2030, establishing it as one of the largest global #AI and #cloud #infrastructure investors in India. This will give #startups, #enterprises, and #government organizations access to custom AI chips, managed AI #services, secure cloud technologies, and #developer tools to #innovate faster, scale rapidly, and serve customers globally. As part of our #commitment to India, we have trained more than 10 million individuals on cloud skills since 2017 and will continue our work on AI and cloud #skilling. We are deeply encouraged by the Minister's reaffirmation that #India remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering #innovation at scale, strengthening digital infrastructure, enhancing talent development, and creating a conducive environment for #technology led growth. At #AWS, we are committed to being a #partner in India's growth story, investing in the #infrastructure, #talent, and #technology that will power the next wave of #digital #innovation, enabling our belief in #BuildingfromIndiaforIndiaandtheWorld.

When AI moves from the lab to the lives of a billion plus people, not just the stakes but even the fundamentals change. In my latest column for The Financial Express, I explored what it takes to build AI that is not just powerful, but TRUSTED at population scale. When we look around, there's a growing realization that India has spent a decade building a nationwide trust layer through its Digital Public Infrastructure, and today, AI is helping build a second layer of intelligence on top of it, turning access into personalized insight. And we have all seen tangible results. Take Digi Yatra; it has transformed over 100 million journeys using facial recognition. While drafting this byline, there was a genuine moment of pride in realizing how India has built an intelligent system delivering real impact at scale, in every nook and corner of the country. You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/ddwQYBNm Scaling is inevitable. But real impact requires Trust by Design, anchored, as the new M.A.N.A.V framework sets out, in ethics, accountability, sovereignty, inclusivity and safety. Three imperatives stand out: 1) Architecture of choice — open ecosystems, flexible models, and sovereign infrastructure so organizations can pick the right tool for each task, not get locked into one. 2) Embedded governance — security, permissions, monitoring and accountability baked into every layer (infrastructure, data, models, apps), not bolted on later. 3) Inclusive talent — AI literacy woven into education and continuous skilling across every level of the workforce, reaching far beyond metros into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. India has a rare opportunity to show the world not just AI at scale, but AI done right. Where do you think the biggest hurdles in AI governance lie — and how can we tackle them? #AI #ResponsibleAI #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #IndiaAI #TrustByDesign #AIliteracy Satinder Singh Jasjeet Singh Kiran J.

#Frontier #AI just got local in #India. Today, we announced the general availability of #OpenAI #GPT-5.6 #Terra and #Luna models on #AmazonBedrock with in-country inferencing. Indian #enterprises can now access frontier intelligence processed entirely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure within the country, giving organizations in #financial services, #healthcare, public sector, #telecom, and #startups and other industries the confidence to move #AI into production while their data stays local. https://lnkd.in/dbhd6fYb What makes this significant is the combination of #choice, #cost, and #controls. Organizations can access OpenAI models alongside a wide selection of foundation models through a single API with no infrastructure changes. With price reduction by 80% for GPT-5.6 Luna and 20% for Terra, the #models will help bring frontier intelligence to India at a dramatically lower cost. Every call benefits from the same security, governance, and compliance frameworks customers already rely on across #AWS. As we keep mentioning, India is shifting from #AI experimentation to production-scale deployment, and this launch delivers the best right model for the job every workload, the security organizations demand, and the cost efficiency to sustain it at scale. #AWS #OpenAI #AmazonBedrock #GenerativeAI #AIinIndia #CloudComputing #EnterpriseAI Jasjeet Singh Satinder Singh Purnima Sahni Mohanty Vilsha Kapoor Pramod Boga Biswajit Das Rajeev Singh Praveen Sridhar Pankaj Gupta Kiran J.
