Jensen Huang, the chief executive officer of Nvidia, will not be travelling to New Delhi for the India AI Impact Summit next week. The company, however, will send a delegation of senior officials led by Executive Vice-President Jay Puri.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jensen Huang is unable to travel to India at this time,” according to a company statement. “A senior Nvidia delegation, led by Executive Vice President Jay Puri, will be on the ground to celebrate India's exceptional AI researchers, startups, developers, and the partners building the nation's AI infrastructure.”
The India AI Impact Summit is scheduled to be held at the Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi from 16-20 February. Huang, who was due to address the media in New Delhi on Wednesday, was expected to be one of the biggest attractions at the summit, which will be inaugurated by PM Modi on Thursday.
