Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, on Friday unveiled India’s first fully indigenous AI server, Adipoli, developed by VVDN Technologies. Equipped with eight GPUs and entirely designed and engineered in India, Adipoli represents a major milestone in the country’s journey toward self-reliance in advanced electronics and artificial intelligence.
Speaking at VVDN Technologies’ Global Innovation Park in Manesar, the minister inaugurated a new Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Line and lauded the company’s role in advancing the government’s Make in India initiative. Vaishnaw called the AI server a “significant leap” in India’s tech capabilities and praised the growing reliability and competitiveness of Indian-made electronics in global markets.
“Over time, India has developed robust capabilities in electronics design, ranging from automotive systems to power electronics and security solutions. Products like Adipoli show that we’re no longer just manufacturing — we’re innovating and designing complex, AI-powered systems right here at home,” Vaishnaw stated.
Highlighting India’s commitment to protecting intellectual property rights, the minister noted that this focus has been recognized internationally, enhancing investor confidence and driving innovation.
A key highlight of his speech was the emergence of large in-house design teams within Indian tech firms. “We are in a facility that has a design team of over 5,000 engineers. These young professionals are working on some of the world’s most sophisticated AI-embedded systems, moving far beyond legacy technologies,” he said.
Calling India’s design talent its “biggest edge,” Vaishnaw emphasized that many countries lack the depth of technical expertise India is now cultivating.
India’s electronics manufacturing sector has witnessed remarkable growth, expanding fivefold in the last decade to reach ₹11 lakh crore, while electronics exports have increased six times to over ₹3.5 lakh crore, he added.
The unveiling of Adipoli not only showcases India’s technological prowess but also reinforces the country’s ambition to become a global hub for high-end electronics and AI-driven innovation.
