The post featured an infographic showing that India’s contributions to projects on GitHub reached 5.2 billion, with 108 million new repositories created in 2024. Dohmke likely based his comments on GitHub’s user data.

“India’s developers have gone a leap further: they’re increasingly using AI to build AI,” he noted, adding that India ranks second globally in contributors to public generative AI projects. This, he suggested, sets the stage for India to potentially produce the next major AI multinational.
