Yotta Data Services recently launched an accelerator program called Rudra. The program has been structured to help software development companies, startups and service providers. Those who opt for the program will be given access to NVIDIA accelerated computing. Recipients of the program may receive credits of up to USD $50,000 for Shakti Cloud.
“We’ve created the Rudra program to significantly accelerate AI innovation in India, enabling startups and ISVs of all sizes to gain access to the cutting-edge technology, expert guidance, and robust infrastructure essential for transforming their AI visions into reality. In a rapidly evolving landscape, our collaboration with NVIDIA equips startups and ISVs to develop groundbreaking solutions. By providing up to $50,000 in cloud credits, we are helping eliminate financial barriers and fostering an ecosystem where innovation can thrive. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to nurturing the burgeoning AI landscape in India, empowering the next generation of AI leaders to create solutions that address both local and global challenges effectively,” said Sunil Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of Yotta.
By extending Yotta’s Shakti Cloud credits to members of the NVIDIA Inception and NVIDIA Connect programs, Rudra aims to make it easier for Inception startups and Connect ISV companies to have longer access to NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform for developing and deploying cutting-edge AI models, said a statement from the company.
