Microsoft plans to invest US$3 billion to expand its cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said his company will invest in India for two years. He said the investment is Microsoft's biggest expansion in India.
This is being done in India because the entrepreneurial energy of the Subcontinent Country gives Microsoft the confidence to bring *core computing* capabilities to the *Next Generation AI* ecosystem.
Not alone, the company, which is part of the *Magnificent Seven*, is also partnering with INDIAai, the Indian government's AI project, to train 500 thousand people in the AI field by 2026.
Further, they plan to train 10 million people in India with cloud and AI skills by 2030. Interestingly, this AI training will be open to students, educators, developers, government officials, and women entrepreneurs.
