New Delhi. Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella will visit India on February 7 and 8 as part of his annual visit. During this time he can discuss new opportunities with AI.

“Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella will address India’s developer community and technologists exploring new opportunities with AI,” the company said in a statement.

Punit Chandhok, president of Microsoft India and South Asia, had said in an internal email a few weeks ago that Nadella’s visit reaffirms Microsoft’s dedication to using technology to expand opportunities in the country.

In June last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met notable US and Indian tech executives, including Nadella, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook during his US visit.

Subsequently, Nadella’s office issued a statement outlining his meeting with the PM.

“The key theme was the power of technology, especially Artificial Intelligence, to help improve the lives of Indians,” the Microsoft statement said.

“India has one of the most vibrant developer and start-up ecosystems in the world. Microsoft is deeply committed to the growth of Indian technology, which will impact both India and markets around the world,” it said.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has reached the coveted $3 trillion mark and has become the second company after Apple to achieve the feat.

Microsoft reached $3 trillion market cap for the first time in its 48-year history. The company’s stock reached a stellar valuation after rising 1.5 percent in trading on Nasdaq.

About two years ago Apple achieved a market cap of $3 trillion.
