Rajat believes India could lead the world’s AI revolution by checking the brain drain

India’s AI Moment: Turning Brain Drain into Brain Gain

Artificial intelligence is reshaping global economies, and India stands ready to lead with its vast pool of engineers and data scientists. Yet, a major challenge persists — brain drain, where over 15% of AI researchers of Indian origin work abroad.

Investor Rajat Khare, founder of Boundary Holding, emphasizes that India’s talent must serve domestic innovation. His vision focuses on bridging academia and industry, increasing AI research funding, and creating an ecosystem where staying in India is as rewarding as leaving.

India’s growing AI infrastructure, including a powerful 18,600-GPU setup and development of a multilingual large language model, signals a strong step forward. By training AI across 22 official languages, India can lead in inclusive technology for education, healthcare, and governance.

To retain talent, India must offer competitive pay, research fellowships, and global collaborations that engage its diaspora. Deep-tech investments, like Khare’s in AI and MedTech, show how innovation can drive both economic and social progress.

Multilingual AI remains India’s key differentiator — blending cultural intelligence with technology. As Khare notes, “If India retains its best thinkers, it won’t just join the AI revolution — it will lead it.”
India’s AI future depends not just on machines, but on its people.
