Fordel StudiosIndia offers zero taxes through 2047 to lure global AI workloads
What Happened
New Delhi's latest move comes as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft expand data center investments in India.
Our Take
This is smart policy, not charity. India's got data gravity now — cheaper compute, latency to APAC, and a talent pool that doesn't cost $300k/year. Amazon, Google, Microsoft already betting hard here. Zero tax through 2047 removes the only friction left.
The catch? You're building on India's infrastructure, which means compliance with India's data laws — which are getting stricter, not looser. Worth it if you're doing inference on English data, risky if you're handling sensitive stuff.
What To Do
If you're running latency-sensitive or cost-sensitive inference, India's now cheaper than Virginia — but audit the data residency requirements first.
