Executive Summary
Building a modern AI startup requires a foundation in fundamental research, a significant departure from the consumer internet era where rapid application development was sufficient.
The discussion contrasts national AI strategies, highlighting China's decade-long, academia-driven investment and the US industry's view of research as a core investment.
India is pursuing a consortium-based approach with initiatives like Bharat Gen, a government-backed effort to develop sovereign generative AI models.
