Microsoft has announced a $3 billion investment in India over the next two years to expand its AI and cloud infrastructure. This comes shortly after the tech giant closed its operations in Pakistan, citing economic instability and regulatory hurdles.
The investment will fund new data centers and AI initiatives aimed at boosting India’s digital growth. CEO Satya Nadella praised India as a “global leader in AI innovation” and highlighted plans to support businesses, developers, and government projects.
In contrast, Microsoft’s presence in Pakistan is now limited to a small liaison office. Former Microsoft Pakistan head Jawwad Rehman described the exit as a “sobering signal” of Pakistan’s challenging environment for global companies.
