AMD Strengthens Its Position in India with Expanded TCS Partnership Against Nvidia

AMD is strengthening its presence in India by partnering with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to introduce advanced AI data centre technology. This move aims to compete with Nvidia in India's rapidly growing AI market. TCS and AMD will jointly develop a rack-scale AI infrastructure using AMD's Helios platform, targeting large enterprises and sovereign AI needs.

The collaboration involves TCS's subsidiary, HyperVault AI Data Center Limited, which will implement AMD's cutting-edge AI architecture in India. This initiative includes an AI-ready data centre blueprint capable of scaling up to 200 megawatts. The announcement coincided with the opening of the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi.

AI Infrastructure Expansion

The new platform is designed to support high-performance AI training and inference workloads for hyperscalers, AI firms, and large enterprises in India. This positions AMD against Nvidia in India's expanding AI infrastructure sector as enterprises and government projects increase compute capacity for large language models and other AI workloads.

Under this partnership, AMD will provide its comprehensive AI compute platform, while TCS will contribute data centre engineering, integration, and enterprise deployment expertise. The rack-scale design aims to enhance performance efficiency and reduce deployment time for enterprise AI tasks.

Strategic Collaboration

Lisa Su, AMD's chair and CEO, stated, "AI adoption is accelerating from pilots to large-scale deployments, and that shift requires a new blueprint for compute infrastructure. With Helios, we are delivering an open, rack-scale AI platform designed for performance, efficiency, and long-term flexibility. Together with TCS, we are enabling enterprises across India to deploy AI at scale today while building the compute foundation of tomorrow."

K Krithivasan, TCS MD and CEO, commented on the collaboration: "This collaboration lays the foundation for AMD's first Helios powered AI infrastructure in India. By combining our strengths in AI, connectivity, sustainable power, and advanced data centre engineering, we are poised to deliver state-of-the-art infrastructure solutions for AI companies and global enterprises. We are thrilled to deepen our longstanding partnership with AMD as we expand our participation in the AI ecosystem – Infrastructure to Intelligence."

HyperVault's Role

TCS established HyperVault in 2025 to provide GW-scale, secure, and reliable AI-ready infrastructure for hyperscalers, AI companies, and global enterprises. This expanded partnership builds on previous collaborations between the two companies to help enterprises scale AI adoption and modernise hybrid environments as global chipmakers compete for AI dominance in India.

This strategic alliance between AMD and TCS marks a significant step towards enhancing India's AI capabilities. By leveraging their combined expertise in technology and infrastructure development, they aim to meet the growing demand for advanced computing solutions in the country.
