Delhi NCR: consumer tech and government-scale AI
Delhi NCR — covering Gurugram, Noida and the capital — is where Indian consumer tech meets government-scale AI. Paytm, Zomato, PolicyBazaar, MakeMyTrip, Oyo and Urban Company have all scaled out of the NCR. Gurugram concentrates the fintech and consumer internet layer, while Noida hosts a deep base of IT services and product engineering. The central government’s Digital India, IndiaAI mission, Aadhaar-linked stacks and large public-sector digital programs run out of the capital, creating a unique market for gov-tech AI. IIT Delhi contributes research and talent flow.
Delhi NCR projects are consumer-scale: millions of users, multiple Indian languages, high traffic, and strict cost control on API usage.

Working with me as a freelance AI Delhi partner
Delhi and Seoul share a productive afternoon overlap, which works well for daily syncs and review cycles. I’ve built high-volume consumer-scale architectures, cost-controlled LLM routing across OpenAI, Anthropic and open-source models, and DPDP-compliant setups. Invoicing through European entities is straightforward.
