🚨 Debate ignites over Bengaluru's exclusion from AI Centres of Excellence 🚨 In a recent announcement, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan revealed plans for three AI Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in India, focusing on healthcare, agriculture, and sustainable cities. However, the exclusion of Bengaluru, India’s tech powerhouse, has sparked debate. Mohandas Pai former Infosys board member, questioned the decision on X, citing Bengaluru's pivotal role in driving the nation's tech innovation. "Why exclude Bengaluru, the technology capital of India?" he asked, addressing the ministers in charge. On the other side, Sridhar Vembu, CEO of Zoho and Co-chair of the committee responsible for selecting the locations, defended the move. He emphasized that the selection was based on the strength of the proposals, free from regional biases. “The committee was unanimous in its decision,” he said, urging against the injection of North-South politics. With Bengaluru being home to numerous tech giants, startups, and leading institutions, should it have been a natural choice? Or does this reflect the need for AI innovation across diverse regions? 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gcc85UEb #AIExcellence #TechInnovation #Bengaluru #MohandasPai #SridharVembu #ArtificialIntelligence #AIinIndia #TechDebate #InnovationIndia
