India's AI boom is masking a brutal reality: GPU costs are devouring margins, and the IndiaAI subsidy may create a two-tier startup ecosystem. Here's the data.

Executive Summary: India's AI startups face a structural cost crisis: GPU compute at ₹249/hour vs. subsidized ₹115-150/hour, creating a bifurcated ecosystem where only IndiaAI-eligible firms survive.

Topic Breakdown:

Strategic Impact: The bifurcation of India's AI ecosystem into subsidized and unsubsidized startups will reshape the competitive landscape. Founders must secure IndiaAI eligibility or risk being priced out. Investors must reassess portfolio companies' compute dependency. The next 12 months will determine which startups have sustainable models—and which will become part of the predicted shutdown wave by 2028.
