China and India have considerable scope for cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), as their AI capabilities are complementary in many respects, a senior Indian investor told the Global Times in an exclusive interview.
There is considerable scope for AI cooperation in areas that address common global challenges, including healthcare, education, agriculture, climate resilience, industrial productivity and scientific research, always within the policy frameworks established by the respective governments and international perspectives on responsible and secure AI, Mahendra Swarup, founder of VG Capital and former president of the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
AI is likely to become one of the defining technologies of this century. India's strengths lie in software development, engineering talent, digital public infrastructure and entrepreneurial innovation. China has developed significant capabilities in AI applications, hardware, manufacturing and large-scale deployment. "These capabilities are complementary in many respects," Swarup said.
The veteran on the front line of India's venture capital investment sector made the remarks amid improving bilateral ties and a certain level of liberalization of Chinese investments in India.
Chinese investors have historically contributed to the growth of several successful Indian companies, especially start-ups. While investment activity has been moderated by regulatory developments over the past few years, there has always been underlying interest in the Indian market because of its long-term fundamentals, Swarup said.
"If the recent improvement in bilateral relations leads to greater regulatory clarity and business confidence, the Chinese investors will once again evaluate opportunities in India, although the general sentiment is one of cautious optimism," said Swarup.
Amid positive momentum in bilateral relations, Swarup noted rising opportunities for entrepreneurs from the two countries to engage in practical cooperation.
There are several areas where entrepreneurs from India and China could potentially complement each other's strengths, subject to the regulatory frameworks of different sectors in both countries, the investor said, highlighting areas including healthcare technologies, clean energy, electric mobility, advanced manufacturing, climate technologies, industrial automation, logistics and supply-chain innovation.

"In whichever sector the complementary strengths of both China and India can be brought together responsibly, they can create value not only for both countries but also for global markets," said Swarup.
India has recently shown signs of easing some long-standing restrictions on trade and investment with China, with Chinese experts saying that the move reflects the country's growing recognition of China's importance to its economic development, and a desire to create a more favorable environment for improving bilateral ties.
There has been a gradual policy adjustment, including easing restrictions on foreign direct investment (FDI) in e-commerce, allowing FDI from companies with Chinese ownership, The Hindu reported on August 1.
With India set to host a BRICS summit this year, Swarup also said that Indian and Chinese companies can work together to promote the interests of developing countries.
India and China are both major economies with significant experience in addressing the challenges of development at scale. Although each country has followed its own development path, there are areas where companies from both nations can contribute meaningfully to broader development across Asia, Africa and other emerging markets, Swarup noted.
There is considerable potential for collaboration in affordable healthcare, digital financial inclusion, renewable energy, agricultural technologies, education technology, infrastructure, supply-chain development and support for small and medium-sized enterprises. These are areas where scalable and affordable solutions can have a significant impact on improving livelihoods, the veteran said.
Partnerships that combine technology, entrepreneurship and long-term investment can help create solutions that are both commercially sustainable and socially impactful. "As two of the largest economies in the Global South, India and China have the opportunity to contribute positively to sustainable development through innovation, responsible investment and constructive commercial engagement," Swarup said.
。    SK가스 본사 전경. SK가스 제공SK가스가 지분 100%를 보유한 자회사 SK어드밴스드를 흡수합병한다.SK가스는 26일 이사회를 열고 SK어드밴스드와의 합병계약 체결 안건을 의결했다. 이번 합병은 신주를 발행하지 않는 방식으로 진행돼 기존 SK가스 주주의 지분율에는 변동이 없다.합병의 핵심은 프로판 조달·공급과 프로필렌 생산으로 이어지는 사업을 하나의 경영체계로 통합하는 것이다.SK가스는 40여년간 축적한 글로벌 네트워크와 트레이딩 역량을 바탕으로 해외에서 경쟁력 있는 가격과 안정적인 운송 인프라를 확보해 프로판을 조달·공급한다.SK어드밴스드는 조달된 프로판을 PDH(프로판탈수소화) 공정을 통해 석유화학 기초원료인 프로필렌으로 생산한다. 합병 이후에는 원료 조달과 제품 생산·판매 등 사업 전반의 의사결정을 일원화한다.이를 통해 원료 조달 경쟁력을 강화하고 운영 효율성과 판매 경쟁력을 높이는 한편, 자금조달과 재무관리도 일원화해 금융비용 절감과 자금운용 효율화 등 재무적 시너지를 확보할 계획이다.SK가스는 “SK어드밴스드의 개별 사업뿐만 아니라 프로판 조달·공급부터 프로필렌 생산·판매까지 이어지는 통합 밸류체인의 경제성과 성장 가능성을 종합적으로 검토했다”며 “양사를 하나의 경영체계로 통합하는 것이 사업 경쟁력과 효율성을 높이는 데 효과적이라고 판단했다”고 설명했다.。
