A major migration is underway from the Indian Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector to the US. Over 100 Indian AI startup founders are either moving their operations to the US or are preparing to do so. The move is being driven by the ease of access to customers and large investments, and the importance of the US as the hub for the world’s best AI technologies.
In the past few years, several leading startups have shifted their headquarters from India to the US. Companies like Composio, Meetstream.ai, Smallest.ai, Beatoven.ai, and GetCrux have already moved to the US. In addition, investors and entrepreneurs in the sector are also indicating that many companies are on the path of change. Many believe that this change is necessary to compete in the global market and expand their businesses.
This new trend undermines the argument that talent is returning to India. These entrepreneurs are leaving the country in search of the ecosystem and market opportunities that are crucial for the growth of AI technology. They believe that this move will help them gain better acceptance for their products globally and capitalize on direct connections to technology hubs like Silicon Valley.
