Competition is giving way to tightly coupled alliances that combine funding, compute, and distribution at unprecedented scale.
AI alliances now integrate funding, compute, and distribution, mimicking vertical consolidation without outright acquisitions.
KEY POINTS
- Indian startups face strategic vulnerability due to scarce domestic compute and reliance on foreign cloud providers.
- Preferential pricing and bundling in hyperscaler ecosystems pressure enterprises towards specific models, shrinking technological diversity.
- Current competition regulations inadequately address these alliances, as they focus on mergers, not deep technical integration.
- Absent policy changes, entrenched AI alliances risk establishing an oligopolistic structure limiting domestic AI capability building.
