India’s largest NSE-listed cloud provider E2E Networks has collaborated with KTech CoE Data Science and AI government of Karnataka (GoK) which is powered by NASSCOM, a pivotal initiative by GoK for fostering disruptive innovation by creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem and create quality human capital for aligning the AI talent requisites. NASSCOM is a nonprofit industry association in India and is the apex body for the 180 billion dollar Indian IT BPM industry.
This partnership arrives at a time when the world is fighting a pandemic and cloud-based technology is creating massive leaps for helping the economy to boost.
KTech CoE DS and AI has a great role to offer as an evangelist and driver of AI enabled growth, its vision implies harnessing AI potential for augmenting Karnataka’s and India’s innovation ecosystem and creating multiplier impact on economy, industry and society.
This partnership will also entail benefits for both, and E2E Networks will have access to KTech CoE DS&AI companies, and this will help them in accelerating AI Innovation in India.
This will also reap the direct benefits of the joint activities conducted by KTech CoE DS&AI.
For KTech CoE DS&AI accelerated MSMEs and Innovators, they will get an exclusive discount, which will grant access to the latest NVIDIA GPUs through cloud servers from E2E at highly affordable prices for running their artificial intelligence loads, including high-performance computing, machine learning, deep learning, and data science workloads.
The partnership will provide a leg up for enabling deep research and benefiting various industries and the Government for everyone to reap the benefits.
KTech CoE DS&AI, since its inception, is driving the acceleration of the adoptions of AI solutions by user enterprise and public sector through creation of toolkits, processes, and frameworks.
This enables the convergence of technological advancements and industry developments with deployable Data Science and AI Innovation. It will also develop skills for ensuring talent pipeline for meeting the growing requirements for AI professionals.
E2E Networks offer the latest GPUs -NVIDIA® A100 Tensor Core GPU, NVIDIA T4 Tensor Core GPU, and NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000. When it is combined with NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) solutions for Quadro workstations, creative and technical professionals get to work from anywhere, which include their home offices, and run compute and graphics-intensive applications for CAD, digital content creation, simulation, and rendering.
KTech CoE DS&AI strengthens itself with the construction of the architecture that is integral to the core development of Data Science and AI sector via policy advocacy.
This helps the sector in setting up strategies and goals for unleashing the complete potential and also reach out and dominate new fields.
KTech CoE DS&AI are very positive about the future of AI in India and mainly in Karnataka.
Krishna Prabu, Technical Director, Ktech CoE DS&AI, said, “The biggest impediment faced by AI MSMEs and Innovators today is access to AI processing capability and flexible scaling of capacity. Which is very Capital intensive and hard to come by for AI Startups working on carefully prioritized budgets. Through this tie-up, we are simply enabling what our MSMEs and Innovators asked for. Not only will it help our network of Data Science & AI companies to focus on Innovation rather than CapEx, but also help them accelerate their speed of AI innovation than it already is. The pandemic has ushered in an era where working remotely is the new normal. We think this is how the MSME and corporate world will function over the next few decades, and the transformation needs an OpEx model for AI processing needs. E2E Networks will help our Innovators jump to a completely digital work-board in the near future.”
E2E Networks can help businesses in deployment of NVIDIA GPU-accelerated solutions for the modern workloads in the cloud, AI, data science, HPC, and virtual workstations for specialized engineering and graphics remote work.
Tarun Dua CEO of E2E Networks, said, “Our collaboration with KTech CoE DS&AI allows us to play a significant role in helping KTech CoE DS&AI incubated startups and members run their AI/ML training/inference, data science, NLP, computer vision, and professional graphics workstation workloads. Internet accessible GPU-accelerated machine learning and deep learning servers are helping run the specialized Artificial Intelligence learning and inference workloads in an increasingly remote-first world.”
