Advantageous to build new AI applications on top of LLMs: Accel's Kirani

In 2023, the world's early AI applications and large language models (LLMs) emerged primarily from the Bay Area, driven by highly specialised PhDs in deep learning. India then lagged in terms of access to these expert resources. A year later, the India story has changed dramatically. The year 2024 will go down as a turning point with engineers in India beginning to develop innovative AI applications across various verticals, without needing deep learning PhDs. The number of AI startups building solutions on top of LLMs has since surged significantly. India is rapidly becoming a global hub for AI applications, says Shekhar Kirani, a partner at global venture capital firm Accel.

Traditionally handled by accounting firms, the process took several days. However, the team trained a ...
