It may reduce dependence on global hyperscalers by creating a future-ready sovereign cloud ecosystem based on OpenStack and indigenous technologies.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Friday announced that it has partnered with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to advance and scale India’s sovereign cloud ecosystem.

The collaboration will focus on research and innovation to build indigenous technologies and deliver scalable, AI-powered cloud platforms, in line with India’s data localisation requirements and the digital transformation of key public sector services, the company said in a regulatory filing.

TCS Inks Pact With C-DAC

“The collaboration with C-DAC, India’s premier R&D institution under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), will develop and integrate indigenous innovations into TCS’ sovereign cloud stack. This move will support the secure and compliant hosting of critical government applications, including e-Sanjeevani, Dial 112, and workloads from central ministries,” it said.

The partnership will enable faster enterprise adoption by improving security, compliance, and performance across key sectors such as healthcare, defence, smart cities, and BFSI.

Through joint initiatives and public sector engagement, TCS and C-DAC aim to establish sovereign cloud platforms as the primary choice for digital transformation initiatives in India.

“By collaborating with C-DAC, we are combining indigenous R&D, public sector infrastructure, and TCS’s enterprise expertise to deliver secure, scalable, and future-ready cloud platforms tailored to the needs of a digitally empowered India,” Girish Ramachandran, President – Growth Markets at TCS, said.
