Nvidia inks partnership with Tata Group to build AI solutions in India, ET BrandEquity

Chipmaker Nvidia on Friday said it is collaborating with the Tata Group to deliver computing infrastructure and platforms for developing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in India.

The collaboration will extend AI capabilities to “thousands of organisation, businesses and AI researchers, and hundreds of startups in India”, said Nvidia.

The two companies will work together to build an AI supercomputer powered by the chipmaker’s latest Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip to achieve “best-in-class performance”.

“We are delighted to partner with Tata as they expand their cloud infrastructure service with NVIDIA AI supercomputing to support the exponential demand of generative AI startups and processing of large language models,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia.

Tata Communications, the Mumbai-based diversified telecom company, and Nvidia will develop an AI cloud in India aimed at providing critical infrastructure that enables computing’s next lifecycle.

On the other hand, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will utilise the AI infrastructure and capabilities to build and process generative AI applications. Additionally, the IT services firm will upskill its 600,000-strong workforce leveraging the partnership.

This partnership will also catalyse the AI-led transformation across Tata Group companies ranging from manufacturing to consumer businesses.

“Our partnership with Nvidia will democratize access to AI infrastructure, accelerate build-out of AI solutions and enable upgradation of AI talent at scale. Tata Group’s presence across sectors coupled with Nvidia’s deep capabilities offers numerous opportunities for collaboration to advance India’s AI ambition,” said N. Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons.

Earlier on Friday, Nvidia partnered with Reliance Industries (RIL)’s telecom arm, Jio Platforms, to build AI cloud infrastructure, large language models, and AI applications in India.

Nvidia’s AI infrastructure will help Reliance build AI applications and services. “The Nvidia-powered AI infrastructure is the foundation of the new frontier into AI for Reliance Jio Infocomm,” Nvidia’s statement read.
