🍭 India Joins the Inner Circle 🌏

Good morning. If your AI hasn’t replaced you yet, it’s probably just waiting for better WiFi.

Let’s dive in 👇

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

• Nokia says AI without networks = fantasy

• DeepMind plugs India into frontier AI

• Nvidia Highlights AI’s Global Impact

Global Infrastructure
📶 No Network, No AI

The Bite:

Nokia just made a blunt point: AI doesn’t work without networks.

Not “better with.” Not “enhanced by.”
Simply doesn’t work.

While most of the AI world argues over model benchmarks and reasoning tricks, Nokia is pointing at something less glamorous:

Latency, bandwidth, and real-world connectivity.

You can’t run intelligent systems in factories, ports, hospitals, or warehouses if the network can’t keep up.

LLMs don’t float. They ride on pipes.

Snacks:

• AI systems in factories need low latency to control robots in real time

• Autonomous vehicles in warehouses rely on constant, stable connectivity

• Remote diagnostics in hospitals depend on high-bandwidth, secure networks

• Edge AI reduces cloud reliance, but still needs tight network coordination

• Private 5G networks are becoming core to enterprise AI rollouts

Why it Bites:

We’ve been watching AI like it’s the playoffs.
Which model wins? Who trained it bigger? Who reasoned harder?

Meanwhile, barely anyone’s asking if the ball is getting flat on the field.

If your robot arm lags by 200 milliseconds, it doesn’t matter how smart your model is.

If your warehouse AI loses connection mid-task, it’s not “cutting-edge.” It’s broken.

Enterprises are starting to realize AI isn’t just software. It’s infrastructure.

You don’t “deploy AI.”
You wire it into the physical world.

And that world runs on networks most AI hype cycles pretend don’t exist.

Google
🌏️ DeepMind Is Plugging Into India’s Brain

The Bite:

Google DeepMind just announced a major expansion in India.

Partnering with research institutions, supporting AI-powered science, and investing in education programs across the country.

The goal: accelerate scientific discovery and build AI talent at scale.

This isn’t a product launch. It’s infrastructure.

India is getting embedded in the frontier AI ecosystem.
Through compute, curriculum, and collaboration.

Snacks:

• Partnerships with top Indian research and academic institutions

• Focus on AI for science: health, climate, materials

• Education + skilling initiatives aimed at students and researchers

• Access to advanced models and technical collaboration

• Long-term investment in India’s AI research ecosystem

Why it Bites:

India has 1.4 billion people and one of the largest STEM talent pipelines in the world.

So the real question isn’t “Is Google helping?” It’s:

Is Google helping India leapfrog — or aligning it to a U.S.-anchored AI stack?

On paper, this gives India more sovereign capability:
Local talent, local research, local application layers.

But compute, models, and ecosystem gravity still flow through American infrastructure.

This is what AI diplomacy looks like in 2026.

Not treaties. Not tanks.
Education programs. Research grants. Model access.

Soft alignment through compute + curriculum.

And honestly? It’s kind of smart.

If you want long-term influence, you don’t sell ads.
You help build the next generation of scientists.

Big Tech is now exporting cognitive infrastructure.

And India is positioning itself to absorb it, not just consume it. That matters.
