BHUBANESWAR: KIIT University conferred its prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award on David A Zapolsky, chief global affairs and legal officer, Amazon US, during a special programme held recently.
The event was attended by KIIT and KISS founder Achyuta Samanta and senior officials from Amazon India. In a conversation with KIIT V-C Prof Saranjit Singh, Zapolsky discussed Amazon’s deepening engagement with India, the transformative potential of AI.
Zapolsky noted that the company has invested nearly USD 40 billion in India, including major investments in data infrastructure and cloud computing.
“India is a leader in shaping the global conversation around AI. No other nation has expressed as clearly as India what it wants to achieve with AI. Our role will be to provide the infrastructure to support that ambition,” he said.
