TCS and AMD Forge Expanded Alliance for AI Infrastructure Development
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have significantly broadened their strategic collaboration, marking a pivotal advancement in India's artificial intelligence landscape. Through its specialized subsidiary, HyperVault AI Data Center Limited (HyperVault), TCS is partnering with AMD to co-develop a comprehensive rack-scale AI infrastructure design. This initiative is anchored on the innovative AMD "Helios" platform and is strategically aligned with India's ambitious national AI programs.
Technical Foundation and Strategic Vision
The "Helios" platform is engineered as a purpose-built, rack-scale AI solution designed to power sovereign AI factories. It integrates cutting-edge components including AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, next-generation AMD EPYC "Venice" CPUs, AMD Pensando Vulcano NICs, and the open ROCm software ecosystem. This robust combination is crafted to deliver exceptional performance, efficiency, and scalability for intensive AI workloads.
By merging the "Helios" platform's technological prowess with TCS's extensive enterprise expertise and operational scale, the collaboration aims to dramatically accelerate deployment timelines and enhance operational efficiencies for businesses across sectors. The partnership will offer a fully AI-ready data center blueprint capable of supporting up to 200 MW of capacity, facilitating rapid and scalable infrastructure build-outs.
Leadership Perspectives on the Collaboration
K. Krithivasan, MD and CEO of TCS, emphasized the strategic importance of this alliance, stating, "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 center engineering, we are poised to deliver state-of-the-art infrastructure solutions for AI companies and global enterprises." He further added, "We are thrilled to deepen our longstanding partnership with AMD as we expand our participation in the AI ecosystem – from Infrastructure to Intelligence."
Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD, highlighted the evolving demands of AI adoption, noting, "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."
Background and Future Implications
TCS established HyperVault in 2025 with a clear vision: to deliver gigawatt-scale, secure, and reliable AI-ready infrastructure tailored for hyperscalers, AI companies, and global enterprises. This expanded collaboration with AMD builds upon a recent strategic partnership focused on helping enterprises scale AI adoption and modernize hybrid environments.
The initiative will involve active engagement with hyperscalers and AI companies to accelerate data center construction and deployment across India. This move is expected to significantly bolster India's position in the global AI arena, providing a robust technological backbone for innovation and economic growth.
