Around late 2019, the acronym artificial intelligence (AI) started to gain traction. Back then, most of us did not have a clue what AI could do. It was still in its early phases.
But since then, it has become so common that school kids today can educate teachers.
Initially, this was all thanks to the launch of ChatGPT a few years later. But since then, new models of Anthropic, Claude, and other AI tools have taken the world over by a storm.
Today, AI has caught the fancy of tech firms, large manufacturers, startups, governments, professionals, and students all over the world.
And right at the center of this boom is one company that's created immense wealth alongside: US-based Nvidia. The company makes crucial chips that powers AI and everything else.
Over the past 5 years, the company's stock price has rallied over 1,100% rising from less than 15 dollars to almost 200 dollars at present.
So, is there any such company in India, that has built such a resilient model like Nvidia?
Make no mistake - it's not necessary for the company to be deeply involved in the AI ecosystem. It just have to have niche offerings that are somewhat related to AI and other related services.
With that context out of the way, let's look at 4 stocks that are touted as India's Nvidia.
First on the list is Netweb Technologies.
The company designs and produces high-performance computers, AI servers, and enterprise systems that handle today's demanding digital workloads.
It offers one of the most direct ways to take part in India's push to build AI infrastructure.
Netweb has a partnership with Nvidia. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer, Netweb is licensed to make advanced AI supercomputers based on Nvidia's Grace CPU and Grace Hopper Superchip architectures.
These products, sold under the Tyrone brand, put the company at the center of India's emerging AI hardware industry and align it naturally with the national "Sovereign AI" plan to keep data and computing power within the country.
This collaboration has already translated into real financial impact. Netweb has secured major orders for GPU-accelerated servers in recent time.
Coming to its financials, Netweb's sales and net profit have grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 67% and 72% over the past 3 years.
Its return on equity (ROE) and return on capital employed (ROCE) have averaged 31% and 41% during the same period.
In H1 FY26, its revenue grew 51.1% YoY, on the back of strong order inflows. EBITDA margins came in at 14.9%, up from 14.1% in the year-ago period, led by operating leverage and a better mix, even as the AI-related business scaled up.
The AI segment's contribution to revenue rose, highlighting how quickly demand for AI-led systems is building.
The company's ongoing tie-up with Nvidia provides strong revenue visibility and confirm visibility in high-performance AI systems.

Second on the list is Tata Elxsi.
The Tata group company has been at the forefront of developing software-defined vehicles (SDVs) which promise to transform the mobility landscape.
Large deals and strong traction in Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) engagements have helped the company become one of the top providers of design and technology services to the industry.
As a result, the company has experienced an impressive surge in its software-defined vehicles business. It has different verticals for autonomous driving and electric vehicles.
Apart from this, Tata Elxsi has also ventured into R&D for drones and battery lifecycle systems.
Coming to its financials, the company's sales and net profit have grown at a CAGR of 18% and 25% respectively, over the past 5 years.
Its ROE and ROCE have averaged 31% and 42% during the same period.
Going ahead, according to its management, utilisation is set to improve, which currently stands near 75%. This may allow its revenue to grow faster.
The company continues to invest in Gen AI-led engineering capabilities, which can improve productivity and strengthen its position in long-duration engineering programs.

Third on the list is CE Info Systems.
The company has been around for decades, yet it hasn't got recognition for its niche offerings, until recently. CE Info Systems (popularly known as MapmyIndia) has been collecting data for about 30 years.
The company initially built the digital footprint of the available offline maps. Later, they physically surveyed the area, visiting different parts of the country.
In the past 30 years, the company has successfully built a repository of more than two crore data points, including navigation systems, telematics, and 3D data visualisations.
The company claims to have mapped more than 10.8 m distinct locations (points of interest), carried out coverage of more than 2.2 m kilometres of roads, 7,268 cities at the street level with home address level data for 94 cities and 5.79 lakh villages.
At present, it's a tough competitor to Google maps, and has been one of the frontrunners in India's deep tech revolution. This revolution could gain momentum as the Indian government and corporates aim to move into a higher orbit of digital evolution.
Coming to its financials, the company's sales and net profit have grown at a CAGR of 26% and 45%, over the past 5 years.
Its return ratios have also been strong, with an average ROE and ROCE of 20% and 27%, during the same period.
According to its FY25 annual report, the company holds an estimated 80-85% market share in embedded navigation among major OEMs in India. Its solutions are built on fully indigenous intellectual property and are compliant with the latest ADAS regulations.
Going forward, the company plans to further expand this reach. This bodes well for the future.

Last on the list is Zensar Technologies.
It's a leading technology and digital solutions company that offers a range of integrated information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing (BPO) products and services.
Zensar is concentrated on catering to three industries. These are hi-tech and manufacturing, banking, financial services and insurance, and consumer services.
The company has strengthened its go-to-market strategy through deeper verticalisation and the rollout of AI-native solutions, while simultaneously building an AI-first organisation by embedding AI across internal processes and workplace applications.
At the start of this year, Zensar laid out a clear plan and committed to lead with an AI-native approach. At present, nearly 20% of its order book is AI-influenced.
Coming to its financials, Zensar Technologies' sales and net profit have grown at a CAGR of 5% and 19%, respectively, over the past 5 years.
It has strong return ratios. The ROE and ROCE have averaged 15% and 21% in the same period.
In the most recent Q3 FY26 results, Zensar recorded several notable AI-led order wins.
These include the development of an Agentic AI solution for a US-based cybersecurity firm, AI-powered intelligent search and discovery initiatives for a leading European firm, and enterprise-wide AI readiness assessments and consulting for an aviation giant.
The company's advanced engineering division has also created an AI engineering buddy, in partnership with Microsoft. It unlocks the power of GPT models powered by the Azure OpenAI ecosystem, which offers high-quality solutions that increase users' efficiency by at least 30%.
Going forward, the company plans to expand to new geographies and offer its clients innovative solutions using emerging technologies.

The AI boom is here to stay, as a lot of capital has already flowed into multiple revolving industries around its ecosystem.
This suggests that investing in AI-related or AI led stocks can be a strategic move due to their high growth potential and innovative capabilities.
Being at the forefront of technological advancements, the companies we mentioned above are more agile and quicker to implement cutting-edge AI technologies, which gives them a competitive edge.
Each has also shown the ability to grow profits, manage balance sheets, and adapt to changing demand conditions over time.
All being said, investors should evaluate the company's fundamentals, corporate governance, and valuations of the stock as key factors when conducting due diligence before making investment decisions.
Happy investing.
