Karnataka Large and Medium Industries Minister MB Patil on September 3 said that Microsoft plans to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the state government to enhance skills in Generative AI and other emerging technologies in the administration.

The announcement followed a meeting between the minister and a Microsoft delegation led by Puneet Chandok, president of Microsoft India & South Asia, who discussed the company's upcoming initiatives.

To establish Karnataka as one of India's most AI-driven states, Microsoft intends to bring in solution experts to explore how AI can be integrated into investor support processes within the Department of Commerce & Industries, said a statement from the minister’s office.

Sources said the programme will start with the Commerce and Industries Department and then be extended to other departments in a phased manner.

The discussions also included Microsoft’s participation in the upcoming Global Investor Meet, with a focus on collaboration with Invest Karnataka to showcase Microsoft’s innovations during the event, scheduled to take place from February 12-14, 2025. Microsoft plans to have senior leaders attend the meet and present their latest technologies, Patil said.
