US President Donald Trump’s top science adviser, Michael Kratsios, said India is a technology powerhouse that is central to the White House’s global artificial intelligence push, highlighting the country’s engineering depth and growing innovation ecosystem. 

 

He added that India graduates an incredible number of engineers, has deep domestic talent, and is building strong products and applications, said the top American scientific advisor who recently returned from India after attending the India AI Impact Summit.

 

Mr. Kratsios placed India within a broader US strategy to expand what he described as real AI sovereignty among partner nations. He also noted that India has long been a strong partner in how the United States shares technology abroad and said American hyperscalers have data centres and research operations in the country, helping deepen integration within the American AI stack.
