OpenAI Eyes India: AI Giant Plots Major Compute Hub
4 Dec
Summary
- OpenAI in talks with TCS for AI compute infrastructure in India.
- Partnership aims to co-develop agentic AI solutions for enterprises.
- OpenAI seeks 500 MW data center capacity for local AI model training.
OpenAI, the world's most valued AI firm, is reportedly in advanced negotiations with India's Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for a significant partnership. The collaboration is set to focus on building AI compute infrastructure in India and jointly developing agentic AI solutions tailored for enterprise clients.
This strategic move by OpenAI, potentially its 'Stargate India' chapter, involves securing at least 500 MW of data center capacity from TCS's new data center arm, HyperVault. This capacity will be crucial for training and operating OpenAI's advanced AI models locally, leveraging India's substantial ChatGPT user base.
The partnership will also see the co-development of AI solutions for sectors like BFSI, retail, and manufacturing, powered by frontier GPT large language models. This move aligns with TCS's ambition to become a leading global AI services provider and underscores India's growing importance in the global AI landscape.
