Keynote: Engineering Population-Scale AI & AI Infrastructure with Cloud Native Technologies at NPCI - Tittu Varghese, In-charge, AI Infrastructure Engineering, National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI)
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) processes more than 24 billion monthly transactions and 700 million daily payments on one of the world’s largest real-time payment systems, all powered by open source, cloud native infrastructure. In this keynote, NPCI will share how they built their AI infrastructure using Kubernetes, Kubeflow, Prometheus, vLLM, OpenStack, NVIDIA AI platforms and many more open-source components to deliver real-time fraud detection in under sub second latency at national scale. The session will explore the architecture behind their payment rail including GPU-accelerated AI inference, distributed cloud infrastructure, and cloud-native tooling powering fraud and AI infrastructure, and financial AI models. Get a look inside their reference architecture and how cloud-native technologies are becoming critical infrastructure for AI at scale with sovereignty.
