By Moumita Bakshi ChatterjeeMicrosoft India President Puneet Chandok has termed the country one of the most exciting markets for technology and AI, underlining the company’s commitment to India and belief in economic ties that power global growth. Chandok, President of Microsoft India and South Asia, told PTI in an interview that while AI now writes 30 % of the company’s code, a massive «tech debt» remains on the supply side in the industry, one that requires more engineers, software and applications as the company pushes to build for the future. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had, in April this year, said as much as 30% of the Redmond, Washington-headquartered tech giant’s code is now written by artificial intelligence, or AI. Chandok described India as «one of the most exciting markets in the world for technology and AI». «We, as Microsoft, are committed to India and we want to move the country forward», he said. As a multinational organisation with extensive footprint worldwide, the company sees economic ties as key to global growth and is deepening commitment to India through investments and skilling.
