Ahmedabad, 28 December. Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani called upon young India to become not just an adopter of Artificial Intelligence (AI) but also a nation leading the Age of Intelligence.
Sharad Pawar Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence inaugurated in Baramati
Speaking at the inauguration of Vidya Pratisthan’s Sharad Pawar Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence in Baramati, Maharashtra, Gautam Adani said that India has reached such an era where it is necessary to move technology, talent and national thinking together.
Balance between institutions and vision is India’s greatest strength
Addressing students and researchers, Gautam Adani said that India’s greatest strength has always been the balance between people, institutions and vision. This same thinking should now be visible in the field of Artificial Intelligence also. He asked the youth to see themselves not as consumers of Artificial Intelligence, but as creators and leaders.
India’s digital revolution has enhanced human potential
Talking about the apprehensions about Artificial Intelligence, he said, ‘History gives us confidence. Every major technological revolution, be it the industrial age or India’s digital revolution, has enhanced human potential. Artificial Intelligence will take this process further, where intelligence and productivity will reach the common people and youth of every section will be able to contribute to the progress of the country.

Leadership in Artificial Intelligence cannot be left to anyone else
Gautam Adani clearly said that leadership in Artificial Intelligence cannot be left to anyone else. In today’s times when technological intelligence is determining economic power and global influence, relying on foreign algorithms can be risky. Technical capability along with data and its decision making process should be linked to India’s interests. Indigenous Artificial Intelligence models, strong computer capability and self-reliant intelligence systems are the foundation of India’s economic security, cultural self-confidence and strategic independence.
Adani Group Global Playing an active role in the AI ecosystem
In this context, he said that Adani Group is playing an active role in the global Artificial Intelligence ecosystem. The group is investing heavily in data centres, digital infrastructure and clean energy, which powers large computer systems. For this reason, India is being seen as an emerging center of Artificial Intelligence based development and global tech leaders like Google and Microsoft are continuously associating with India.
Objective of Sharad Pawar Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence
Talking about Sharad Pawar Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence, it has been established under Vidya Pratisthan, Baramati, in which Gautam Adani had contributed Rs 25 crore in the year 2023. The objective of this initiative is to provide quality research, skill development and industry-related training. This center will work on the use of Artificial Intelligence in critical sectors like agriculture, health, governance and industry and will strengthen collaboration between the private sector including academic institutions.
This center should not be limited to learning but should become a center of innovation and manufacturing.
At the end of his address, Gautam Adani told the students that this center should not be limited to learning, but should become a center of innovation and manufacturing. He said, ‘The Age of Intelligence demands the courage to think for yourself with competence and to create something new with courage. He told young India, ‘This is your time, not just to see history but to create history.’
