Company in Focus: NVIDIA
The NVIDIA AI Summit India unfolded at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai from October 23-25, marking a historic milestone in India’s tech and AI landscape. The event, led by Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, and Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, showcased India’s readiness to harness artificial intelligence (AI) for economic and social transformation.
In the keynote address, Jensen Huang emphasized India’s pivotal role in the global AI ecosystem. Drawing on the Indian concept of “Vidya,” meaning knowledge, he described NVIDIA’s mission to empower the nation through AI as a “cornerstone” of its future. Huang highlighted the potential embedded in India’s skilled workforce, describing it as an “amazing natural resource” in IT and computer science expertise. He added that the evolution from computing to intelligence would fuel the next stage of global industry, with India poised to be at its forefront due to its data resources and population scale.
Huang emphasized NVIDIA’s commitment to India’s AI-driven future by equipping the workforce with necessary skills. He shared that the company is partnering with major IT firms to train close to half a million developers, positioning India as a leader in the AI revolution. With its immense talent pool and emerging tech ecosystem, Huang asserted that India has the potential to set new standards globally across sectors like healthcare, finance, energy, and manufacturing.

Our volunteer Vaishnavi Jinde shared the summary and link of the IEEE paper on Privacy Engineering.
Importance of Privacy Engineering:
Privacy engineering addresses the technical aspects of privacy, which are crucial for compliance with regulations like GDPR. Businesses face significant fines and customer loss due to privacy breaches, making privacy engineering essential for protecting data and maintaining customer trust.
Privacy by Design (PbD):
PbD is a foundational approach in privacy engineering, emphasizing the integration of privacy into the design and development lifecycle of systems. Privacy engineers use methodologies and tools like Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) to identify and mitigate privacy risks.
Privacy engineering involves various techniques such as anonymization, pseudonymization, encryption, and differential privacy to protect data. The use of synthetic data and data privacy vaults are emerging approaches to enhance privacy while enabling data utility.
