“Which area has (India) invented? Please give me an example,” Murthy during an inter highlighting the countryâ€s dependence on adapting foreign technologies rather than creating innovations. Murthy said that India has yet to solve long-standing issues like Dengue and Delhi’s pollution, despite these being persistent problems.
He questioned why the IT services industry should be singled out for criticism when the country as a whole has not addressed these challenges.
“We have not been able to build large databases, and without big data, AI (artificial intelligence) has no value. A large language model (LLM) doesn’t make any sense. Basically, the Indian mindset is still not oriented towards problem definition and problem-solving,†Murthy said in an interview with Moneycontrol.
