New Delhi, Sept. 12 -- Tata Consultancy Services has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to accelerate the development of India's sovereign cloud ecosystem. Under this collaboration, the two organisations will deliver AI-enabled cloud platforms aligned with India's data localisation mandates and supporting the digital transformation of critical public sector services. CDAC, which is an R&D institution under MeitY, will develop and integrate indigenous solutions within TCS' sovereign cloud stack. It will help in the secure hosting of government applications like e-Sanjeevani, Dial 112, and workloads from central ministries. "We are proud to join hands with TCS in a collaborative research partnership focused on developing and delivering next-generation technologies for sovereign cloud, aligned with the nation's strategic and digital priorities. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in India's journey toward technological self-reliance," said Magesh Ethirajan, Director General - CDAC. The companies claim that it is a step towards tech sovereignty that aims to reduce reliance on global hyperscalers by building a cloud ecosystem driven by OpenStack and indigenous technologies. Through joint efforts and public sector outreach, TCS and C-DAC aim to position sovereign cloud platforms as the default choice for India's digital transformation journey. On Thursday, TCS announced the launch of its Chiplet-based System Engineering Services. This new offering provides semiconductor design services to accelerate innovation beyond traditional design, TCS said. TCS will be using chiplets or small integrated circuits that serve as the building blocks of larger chips, to help deliver faster and more powerful processors. TCS' new services are expected to give both Indian and international companies access to world-class expertise in chip-to-system engineering.
