The minister shared that the AI server equipped with 8 GPUs was designed in India.
Speaking at VVDN Technologies' Global Innovation Park in Manesar, where Vaishnaw inaugurated a new SMT (Surface Mount Technology) Line, he praised the rapid strides made under the government's 'Make in India' initiative.
"Over a period of time, India has developed strong capabilities in electronics design. These capabilities now include products related to the automobile sector, power electronics, signalling, and security systems. Designing and manufacturing of such products is increasingly happening within India, which is a significant achievement under the Prime Minister's 'Make in India' program," Vaishnaw told reporters.
"With the recent addition electronic component scheme, the depth and scope of development will further expand. Moreover, the reliability of Indian products and the country's commitment to respecting intellectual property rights are gaining global recognition," he added.
The Minister further disclosed that the facility has a design team of 5,000 engineers.
“These young engineers are designing some of the most complex products, embedded with AI, moving far beyond legacy systems," he said.
Calling this a "big leap", Vaishnaw said that India is a global leader in the area of design.
"This is very important because this is going to give us that big advantage compared to many other countries which don't have this much design talent," he said.
He mentioned that India's electronics manufacturing has grown fivefold in the past decade, touching Rs 11 lakh crore, and exports have increased six times to over Rs 3.5 lakh crore.
