Google is exploring investments in India, spanning artificial intelligence infrastructure as well as server and drone manufacturing, Union IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Friday, signalling a possible expansion of the tech giant's ambitions, beyond cloud and startup initiatives. "Google is exploring investments in India across Al infrastructure and the manufacturing of servers and drones," Vaishnaw said in a post on X after meeting Google executives. The reference to manu-facturing is significant as Google's India investments have so far largely centred on cloud, Al skilling and startup ecosystem programmes rather than local hardware production.
