NVIDIA Becomes the First $5 Trillion Company: Surpassing India’s GDP

NVIDIA Corporation has officially made history, becoming the first company ever to reach a staggering $5 trillion market capitalisation, a valuation that now exceeds India’s entire GDP, estimated at around $4.2 trillion.

NVIDIA shares soared more than 4% as US markets opened on Wednesday, October 29, pushing its total market value to $5.05 trillion. This milestone firmly establishes NVIDIA as the undisputed leader of the global artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, outpacing even tech giants Apple and Microsoft in the race for technological supremacy.

AI Chip Orders Worth $500 Billion

CEO Jensen Huang revealed that NVIDIA has already secured a record $500 billion in AI chip orders for the next 4 years, reflecting unprecedented demand for its processors that power supercomputers, cloud data centers, autonomous vehicles, and generative AI systems worldwide.

In a series of high-profile announcements, the company outlined bold new initiatives:

• Construction of seven AI supercomputers for the US Department of Energy, reinforcing its role in national research and defence.
• A strategic partnership with Uber to accelerate the development of autonomous vehicle technology.
• A $1 billion investment in Nokia to co-develop next-generation 6G networks, expanding NVIDIA’s influence into telecom and edge AI computing.

NVIDIA’s Journey from IPO

From its humble beginnings with a sub-$1 billion valuation at its 1999 IPO, NVIDIA’s growth has mirrored the evolution of the digital age:

• 2007 – Crossed $10 billion, fueled by the success of GeForce GPUs.
• 2024 – Surpassed $1 trillion, then rapidly doubled and tripled its valuation within months.
• July 2025 – Hit $4 trillion, solidifying its dominance.
• October 2025 – Stands alone as the first $5 trillion company in history.
