India to Become AI Infrastructure Hub with Tata and OpenAI Partnership

India and OpenAI will collaborate to build AI-ready data centre infrastructure in India beginning with 100 megawatts (MW), potentially expanding up to 1 gigawatt (GW), in what will be the first purchase of its kind for Tata.

OpenAI's Megatron-Turing LLM 530B, a state-of-the-art large language model (LLM), will operate on Tata Consultancy Services' HyperVault AI data centre infrastructure, which will enable businesses around the world to "deploy their cutting-edge AI solutions in India."

This collaboration would allow Tata to become OpenAI's first customer for its next-generation AI-ready data centres as well as contribute to a multi-year, multi-billion dollar effort code-named Stargate to construct AI-ready infrastructure worldwide."

Enterprise AI Solutions for Tata Group Employees

OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise will be used by tens of thousands of Tata employees across the Tata group to help teams become more productive by incorporating artificial intelligence into their daily workflows. Tata Technologies' IT professionals will also begin using OpenAI's Codex platform to normalise AI-first software development throughout the organisation.
