Mumbai: Tata Group, Tata Consultancy Services (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), and OpenAI have announced a multi-dimensional strategic partnership aimed at accelerating AI-led innovation across enterprise, consumer and social sectors in India and worldwide.
The collaboration spans AI enablement within Tata Group companies, joint global go-to-market initiatives, the development of industry-specific AI solutions, creation of AI infrastructure in India, and large-scale social impact initiatives.
Enterprise AI Enablement
As part of the partnership, several thousand Tata Group employees will gain access to Enterprise ChatGPT to drive productivity and innovation across functions. Additionally, TCS will leverage OpenAI’s Codex to enhance software engineering capabilities and accelerate development cycles.
Industry-Specific Agentic AI Solutions
OpenAI and TCS will co-develop industry-specific Agentic AI solutions that combine OpenAI’s advanced AI models with TCS’s contextual domain expertise and large-scale implementation capabilities. The goal is to deliver tailored AI applications for enterprises across sectors globally.
Joint Go-to-Market Initiatives
Through coordinated go-to-market efforts, TCS will deploy, integrate and scale OpenAI’s AI platforms for clients in India and across international markets. The partnership is expected to enable enterprises to adopt AI solutions aligned with their organisational and industry contexts.
AI Infrastructure Development
TCS’s HyperVault unit and OpenAI have entered into a multi-year agreement to develop AI infrastructure in India. In the first phase, TCS will build AI infrastructure with a 100MW capacity, scalable up to 1GW. The initiative aims to power next-generation AI workloads and strengthen India’s position as a global AI hub.
Established in 2025, HyperVault was created to deliver gigawatt-scale, secure, AI-ready infrastructure for hyperscalers and AI-driven organisations. Powered by green energy, the infrastructure will feature liquid-cooled data centres with high rack densities and connectivity across key cloud regions.
Social Impact and Skilling
The OpenAI Foundation and TCS will collaborate to provide AI training and resources to Indian youth. The initiative will focus on building technology toolkits for NGOs and launching youth-centric programmes aimed at improving the livelihoods of at least one million young Indians through responsible and scalable AI adoption.
Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAI, said, “India is already leading the way in AI adoption, and with its talent, ambition, and strong government support, it is well placed to help shape its future. Through OpenAI for India and our partnership with the Tata Group, we’re working together to build the infrastructure, skills, and local partnerships needed to build AI with India, for India, and in India, so that more people across the country can access and benefit from it.”
Natarajan Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, said, “This deep collaboration between OpenAI and the Tata Group marks a major milestone in India’s vision to become a global leader in AI. We are pleased to partner with OpenAI to create state-of-the-art AI infrastructure in India. This is a unique opportunity for OpenAI and TCS to transform industries. Together we will skill India’s youth and empower them to succeed in the AI era.”
The partnership represents a significant step in aligning global AI innovation with India’s digital growth ambitions, combining advanced AI capabilities with large-scale infrastructure, enterprise transformation and skilling initiatives to accelerate AI adoption across sectors.
