Jensen Huang skips India AI Impact Summit; Nvidia delegation to attend

Jensen Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia, will not travel to New Delhi for the India AI Impact Summit scheduled next week. The company said a senior delegation, led by Executive Vice-President Jay Puri, will represent Nvidia at the event.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jensen Huang is unable to travel to India at this time,” Nvidia said in a statement. “A senior Nvidia delegation, led by Executive Vice President Jay Puri, will be on the ground to celebrate India’s exceptional AI researchers, startups, developers, and partners building the nation’s AI infrastructure.”

The India AI Impact Summit will be held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi from February 16 to 20. Huang, who had been expected to interact with the media, was seen as one of the marquee participants at the summit, which is set to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Nvidia remains a central player in the global AI ecosystem, driven largely by its dominance in GPU servers and AI computing hardware.
