Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that AI infrastructures such as data centres can recreate the “incredible” scale of jobs that the internet created when it reached the Indian market, an NDTV report said on Wednesday. His remarks come days after finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced during Budget 2026 that India will provide a tax holiday till 2047 to any foreign companies using data centres built in the country. ADVERTISEMENTAt a press conference at the 3DExperience World event in Houston, Huang said the data centres in India could generate a lot of employment across construction, supply chains and other segments. “The building of the data centre is maybe 5,000 people, 10,000 people. But don’t forget, the derivative workforce, the labour that contributes to delivering that data centre, is quite gigantic,” he said.
