India a Key Market in Global AI Strategy, Says NTT DATA Executive

India plays a crucial role in NTT DATA’s global artificial intelligence strategy, bolstered by strong government initiatives such as the IndiaAI Mission, a senior company official said.

Jan Wuppermann, Senior Vice President, Service Assurance and Data & AI for APAC at NTT DATA, noted that the company’s long-term commitment to India has been rewarded with rapid growth and a strong market presence. NTT, a global IT services leader headquartered in Tokyo, has made significant early investments and acquisitions in the country, positioning itself at the forefront of India’s expanding digital ecosystem.

NTT currently commands nearly 30 per cent of India’s data centre market and expects continued growth in the coming years as demand for AI, cloud services and digital infrastructure accelerates.

Wuppermann said the synergy between India’s policy support and NTT’s technological capabilities will drive deeper collaboration and innovation in the AI landscape.
