Nvidia and Bharat1 partnership to build AI Superpark in Bengaluru signals India’s global AI push

The Nvidia and Bharat1 partnership marks one of the largest coordinated efforts to build dedicated AI research infrastructure in India. NVIDIA is increasing its India plans and is partnering significantly with Bharat1 AI Research and Innovation City to create an ambitious AI SuperPark in Bengaluru - an initiative that is an indication that India will no longer be a talent centre, but a global hub of high-performance AI research and development.

The project was declared when a number of US tech giants are strengthening the position of India in the global AI ecosystem by investing in the country and dedicating infrastructure to it on a large scale. The Superpark step is projected to be one of the pillars of a far greater AI City, a vast innovation hub that would transform the realm of AI in India.

Nvidia Bharat1 AI Superpark: Foundation for a larger AI city

The Nvidia Bharat1 AI Superpark will anchor a much larger AI innovation district in Bengaluru. The AI Superpark Bengaluru campus spans 500,000 square feet and is already operational. It is stated that Nvidia and Bharat1 are planning to start with the B1 AI Superpark, a 500,000-square-foot campus in Bengaluru already in place and already operational. This center will be the core of an AI innovation district of up to 70 acres that will grow to almost 4 million square feet of commercial R&D space over time. The facility is part of the larger Bharat1 AI Research & Innovation City, which aims to build a 70-acre AI district.

The AI City is expected to accommodate over 25,000 researchers and engineers, startup and product companies, applied research laboratories, and enterprise innovation teams at full scale. This size and concentration make it one of the largest single site AI ecosystem investments in India.

The distinguishing factor of the Superpark over the conventional tech parks is that it is designed to handle high-density compute workloads, sophisticated simulations, and large scale training of models. The physical set up is specially built to support frontier AI research and not the conventional office and services work.

A fully integrated AI ecosystem and India AI infrastructure

Startups inside the campus will qualify for Nvidia Inception India, gaining access to technical support and venture capital networks. This project expands Nvidia’s long-term India AI investment strategy focused on high-performance computing and model training. The contribution of Nvidia in Superpark will not be limited to real estate. The company asserts that it will provide startups and research teams with access to its accelerated computing stack and AI software platforms, technical expertise to train, deploy and scale models on an enterprise scale.

Startups located in the Superpark will also receive the Nvidia Inception programme which offers technical advice, infrastructure assistance, business advice and investor introductions through Inception VC Alliance. This extends the project outside of infrastructure into the ecosystem enablement - providing an entire growth platform to nascent AI firms.

This puts the Superpark of Bengaluru as a centre of research, as well as a platform-based innovation ecosystem that integrates technology, capital, and worldwide go-to-market strategies. These initiatives are strengthening India AI infrastructure by localising compute and research capacity.

AI investment in India

This follows Google’s expanding AI investment in India, including subsea cables and AI compute hubs. Nvidia’s move aligns with a broader wave of AI infrastructure investment in India. At the IndiaAI Impact Summit 2026, other major partnerships were announced.

Google unveiled its “America–India Connect” initiative — part of a reported 15 billion dollar investment in AI infrastructure, including fiber connectivity and compute hubs to strengthen regional AI capabilities.

OpenAI revealed a partnership with the Tata Group to build AI data-centre infrastructure, starting with 100 MW of capacity through TCS’s HyperVault data centre business, scalable to 1 GW. The OpenAI Tata Group partnership is also building large-scale AI compute capacity through TCS’s HyperVault.

These developments underscore India’s emergence as a global AI infrastructure destination, where compute, connectivity, and innovation pipelines are being localised and scaled. These projects are turning India into a strategic AI data centre location for global workloads.

To startups and researchers, world-class AI infrastructure and ecosystem support may reduce the time between concept and commercialisation. In the case of the tech economy in India, it can offer a strategic chance to host AI research that can benefit the local as well as global markets. The Superpark could create one of the largest clusters of AI researchers in India.
