What do you think of India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw comparing the Indian government's efforts to build a localised AI model to sending a mission to the moon at a fraction of the cost?

The only answer would be a possible advantage for ISRO, sometime in the distant future

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic

A Maruti 800 and a Ferrari both transport people from one point to another but their entire purpose is extremely different is it not?

Is data science, machine learning, and AI very difficult? I’ve learned some Android development, but I didn’t like it. Should I learn Python, data science, machine learning? I like math and machine learning have a better growth rate
