Indian conglomerate The Tata Group, including Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has entered into a strategic partnership with OpenAI to expand AI adoption across enterprise, consumer, and social segments in India and internationally.
The Indian company stated that the new agreement includes AI deployment within Tata Group companies, joint industry-focused solutions, infrastructure development and social initiatives.
Under the terms of the partnership, several thousand Tata Group employees will gain access to Enterprise ChatGPT. TCS will also use OpenAI’s Codex to support software engineering processes.
The companies plan to develop industry-specific agentic AI applications combining OpenAI’s models with TCS’s sector expertise. In addition, TCS and OpenAI will pursue joint go-to-market initiatives aimed at helping enterprises deploy, integrate, and scale OpenAI’s AI platforms globally.
A central component of the agreement involves infrastructure development. TCS’s HyperVault unit and OpenAI have signed a multi-year partnership to build AI infrastructure in India. The initial phase includes 100 MW of capacity, with the option to scale to 1 GW. The companies said this infrastructure will support next-generation AI workloads.
The collaboration also includes social initiatives. The OpenAI Foundation and TCS will work together to provide AI training and resources for Indian youth, develop technology toolkits for NGOs, and launch programs aimed at improving livelihoods for at least one million young people.
Sam Altman, CEO of 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 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.”
TCS established HyperVault in 2025 to develop large-scale AI-ready infrastructure, including liquid-cooled data centers designed for high rack densities and powered by green energy. The company said the platform is intended to support hyperscalers and AI-driven organizations.
Several AI infra deals in India have been announced during the India AI Impact Summit, which took place last week.
