India rising as Big Tech breaks bank for AI talent
ETtech With Meta's Mark Zuckerberg hunting for top AI talent with $100 million packages, other large tech companies may follow suit and the price of AI talent globally is expected to be pushed up, experts said. India however retains an edge due to the lower cost and may see some jobs being routed AI talent generally costs around 15–25% of what companies pay in global hubs like the US, particularly for senior and research-level roles, according to AMS data. Salaries in the US or UK/Europe are almost five times more than the Indian average for similar skill sets, as per Teamlease Digital. For mid-level skills such ML Engineers or Data scientists with experience, the salary difference is about two to three times. 'We will continue to see more AI jobs routed to India, especially for engineering, implementation, and mid-tier research roles, as global salary inflation and talent shortages make India's cost-quality equation quite favourable,' said Roop Kaistha, regional managing director-APAC, cost advantage remains meaningful, particularly for execution and scaled development roles in AI, ML Ops, and data engineering, she said. While senior AI researchers in the US attract packages of $500,000 to $1 million or more, in India they earn about Rs 60-80 lakhs annually, as per recruitment firm Adecco.'This (Meta's) offer raises the benchmark rates for this talent worldwide,' said Sunil Chemankotil, country manager for India at recruitment firm Adecco. 'The dual advantage India offers is cost and talent arbitrage - this will help organisations to scale up rapidly.'The country has a growing AI talent pool, particularly in applied AI and engineering, he India still lags in the top-end of AI R&D talent that is likely to bag the top-dollar packages globally and needs to significantly scale up this kind of talent and expertise, experts most AI-related jobs that come to India are in areas like data modelling, annotation and AI/ML integration, said Neeti Sharma, CEO, Teamlease Digital. For India to go up the value chain towards innovation driven roles, we need to make investments in creating a continuously upskilling ecosystem that enables us to get on to core AI innovation.'For advanced research, talent matters more than cost—global companies will pay top dollar for the best people, wherever they are,' Sharma said, adding that migration of jobs to India will continue given the large pool of foundational tech skills needed for AI and that comes at a competitive cost.'Indian talent remains cost-competitive and highly skilled in implementation roles but is only beginning to break into the uppermost tier of global AI R&D leadership,' said the foreseeable future, and until the startup ecosystem in India matures further, the ultra-elite, $100 million 'superintelligence' researchers will remain concentrated in places like the US, she Indian-origin researchers are already leading global AI labs, and with continued investment in research and education, the IndiaAI Mission, and the startup ecosystem, India will be able to compete at the highest levels, said Chemmankotil.

VCs on AI flight to valley
ETtech Indian venture investors are setting up shop in San Francisco, the AI epicenter, as they chase cutting edge development of the technology and aim to spot the next wave of AI trends. Multiple Indian venture capital companies, such as Elevation Capital and Peak XV, have set up shop at AI epicenter, San Francisco, in the US to tap into the booming industry. In addition to this, investors are spending more time in San Francisco or SF as it is called, as the pace of AI development grows unabated in the region. Elevation Capital recently hired Capillary Technologies cofounder and former Meta executive Krishna Mehra, as the AI partner, with more people from the team spending significant time in the US. Peak XV has set up an office in SF, and has hired Arnav Sahu, former Y Combinator principal, to drive investments. Blume Ventures' managing partner Sanjay Nath is spending time in San Francisco and India. ET has also learnt that VC firm Z47 is looking to expand its presence in San Francisco, in the US. The email sent to the company did not elicit any response till the time of Mehra, AI Partner, Elevation Capital, who is based in Palo Alto, quipped that it is now easier to meet a VC in the Valley than in Bengaluru. 'I end up meeting more people from the investment community there,' he are a few things driving this. SFO playbookMehra explained that this is a combination of more action happening in the US and the need to be closer to understand what is happening in the region and where the buck is going. 'There is a lot of cross border action happening as well, which being there helps to a certain extent,' he added. Two Bengaluru-based investors ET spoke to said that they are travelling to the US more often to understand how the technology is evolving. 'Travelling there iseye-opening in terms of what is happening in AI and the kind of talent density that is available there,' one of the investors Krishna, founder, Inkle, a US accounting and tax automation startup, said this is happening globally as well. For instance, he highlighted that a global accelerator, which had originally encouraged founders to start the company wherever they were, is now encouraged to move to the US.'Their original pitch was that build wherever you are, talent is everywhere and sit anywhere in the world. This was 10 years ago,' Krishna said.'This is because the early-stage AI startup has centralised itself to San Francisco city, which has become centre of gravity for startups and foundational model companies. This has eroded Silicon Valley's relative historical dominance over SF, as thousands moved to or launched in the city,' he explained. This includes OpenAI and Y Combinator companies that are in SF that have created a concentration of talent in the region resulting in a vibrant AI ecosystem, attracting investors, startups and techies. 'Now you will see entrepreneurs and investors all over the world making pilgrimages to SF every six to 12 months,' Inkle's Krishna says. What are investors doing in the US?Indian investors have been investing aggressively in the AI space in recent times. With a lot of startups in the AI space moving to the US, it is also becoming important for investors to help them with the networks. ET had earlier reported that a number of AI startups such as and Composio have moved to SF to tap into this ecosystem. Early this year, Sarvam AI, which is building an Indic foundational model, launched Sarvam Labs in the Bay Area in the US in March in LightSpeed office in Menlo Park, Andra, managing director, Endiya Partners, who has been spending 3-4 months a year in the US, said, 'They (portfolio startups) need connections and networks. So, helping them becomes very important,' he said. But he does not see himself spending more than that in the Capital's Mehra said that in the last two years they have invested in 15-20 companies, compared to the norm of five or six before, primarily driven by AI. 'There is a lot of potential to build category leading companies, some of them in India. But some of them are easier to do in the US. That is why founders are moving early, and the pool is much larger. This might change in five years,' he said. Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.

AppsForBharat raises $20 million in round led by Susquehanna Asia Venture Capital
AppsForBharat, the parent company of devotional platform Sri Mandir, has raised $20 million in a funding round led by Susquehanna Asia Venture Capital. The round also saw participation from other existing investors Nandan Nilekani's Fundamentum, Elevation Capital and Peak XV Partners. The funds will be used to invest in over 20 temple towns in India, strengthen services and commerce verticals, and set up fulfilment and logistics hubs. 'On the devotee side, we are further investing in the product to help it grow in multiple languages. We are also investing heavily in AI-led experiences, where users will be assisted in their devotional journeys and more,' founder and chief executive Prashant Sachan told ET in an interaction. Founded in November 2020 by IIT Bombay alumni Prashant Sachan, Sri Mandir offers a virtual platform where devotees can perform pujas, connect with prayer groups, and access devotional content, including spiritual texts, scriptures, and videos. In the last 12 months, 12 lakh devotees have performed 52 lakh online pujas and offerings at over 70 temples across India. The startup plans to set up 20 logistics hubs by the end of this year. It currently operates warehouses in eight towns.'The question for us is whether we can invest in physical infrastructure in or near that temple town, which would help us conduct our online services much more efficiently and enable temples to deliver offerings to devotees directly from that location. That is what the investment is all about,' Sachan Bengaluru-based firm had raised $18 million in September last year. Startups in this space have experienced rapid growth, attracting significant investments from venture capital (VC) firms in recent months. They have also been capitalising on various religious events to expand their user base and drive growth. Other key players in this space include DevDham and to Sachan, the company's revenue has doubled over the past six months, without disclosing further details. It now has about three million monthly active users, he said. The startup serves devotees in six international markets, with around 20% of its demand coming from the Indian diaspora residing in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UAE. Earlier, ET had reported that AppsForBharat plans to expand into regions with large NRI presence like Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, and the richer neighbourhoods of Europe. This comes at a time when devotional platforms are expanding their reach beyond India, targeting the affluent and culturally connected Indian diaspora to boost both sales and subscriber numbers. On July 7 last year, ET reported that a post-pandemic surge in online engagement and a growing interest in spiritual practices in recent times have revived the fortunes of apps offering spiritual and devotional services. Commenting on the investment, Sai Araveti, investment advisor, Susquehanna Asia VC, 'Sri Mandir has demonstrated exceptional execution in building foundational infrastructure for digital devotional services, while simultaneously enabling temples to serve devotees across geographical boundaries better."
