In India, the usage of Artificial Intelligence in various domains is growing at a steady pace. At present, India hosts a mere 6% of the total number of AI companies in the world. However, this sector offers tremendous opportunities for the start-ups to come up with innovative solutions especially for the banking and e-commerce sectors. In this edition we are glad to bring some valuable insights on the “Artificial Intelligence in India” by Mr Srikant Sastri – Co-founder of Crayon Data.
