Sovereign AI in India
Leading global communications technology company Tata Communications and conversational and generative AI pioneer CoRover.ai took a historic step to influence the direction of AI in India by introducing Sovereign AI solutions to Indian government agencies and businesses.
The ability of a country to create artificial intelligence using its own labour, data, infrastructure, and business networks is known as “sovereign AI.” In addition to guaranteeing data sovereignty, cultural relevance, and legal compliance inside the nation’s digital ecosystem, this partnership will bolster India’s capabilities.
Through the use of CoRover’s human-centric conversational AI technologies, such as its proprietary large language model (LLM), BharatGPT, and Tata Communications’ Sovereign AI Cloud Platform, the partnership will provide innovative, GenAI-powered solutions tailored to the particular requirements of India’s diverse market and changing digital landscape.
“This partnership represents a landmark moment for Indian AI innovation,” said Neelakantan Venkataraman, Vice President and Global Head of Cloud and Edge Business, Tata Communications. “As India pursues its Digital India vision, Tata Communications’ expertise in sovereign cloud infrastructure and platform along with CoRover.ai’s industry-first conversational AI capabilities will be a major stride in building a robust AI ecosystem that’s tailored not only to meet current demands but anticipate future needs.”
“CoRover is proud to be the first Indian company to launch Sovereign AI for India,” added Ankush Sabharwal, Co-Founder and CEO, CoRover.ai. “Our collaboration with Tata Communications will redefine how Indian enterprises and government institutions harness AI’s potential while retaining control over data and operations within the country. Together, we are confident of delivering powerful, adaptable solutions that enhance national security, foster local innovation, and bolster India’s position in the global AI ecosystem.”
Creating citizen-centric apps, a strong digital public infrastructure, and scalable e-governance solutions that put security, data governance, and user engagement first are all part of this partnership. Through the collaboration, Indian government departments, ministries, and agencies as well as public and private organisations will have access to cutting-edge GenAI-powered text, voice, and video solutions that guarantee excellent performance, security, and flexibility.
Highlights of this collaboration include of:
• Regulatory Adherence: Solutions to meet Indian regulations, offering transparency, thorough auditing, and adherence to data protection and security standards;
• Data Sovereignty: Data will be contained within national borders, processed by locally trained models, and securely managed cloud infrastructure, retaining greater control.
• Cultural Relevance and Localization: Multilingual assistance and cultural awareness improve user experience, particularly in India’s multilingual environment.
• Public Sector and Governance Solutions: AI solutions with a strong governance focus will help government agencies manage citizen services effectively and responsibly.
Tata Communications’ AI platform will enable organisations to quickly develop and implement cutting-edge AI-driven applications without requiring extensive technical knowledge by streamlining the frequently difficult process of dealing with Gen AI models. Along with tools like CoRoAssist, CoRoGrievance, CoRoPayments, CoRoOnboarding, and CoRoAnalytics, the alliance will also provide ready-to-market AI products and other customisable solutions that cover a variety of use cases, including payment processing, onboarding, and grievance management. For smooth user experiences, these products easily connect with well-known CRM platforms and live agent interfaces.
In order to develop India’s AI expertise and assist open-source AI efforts, the Sovereign AI platform will guarantee safe data processing, storage, and use. These technologies, which are optimised for energy efficiency, edge AI, and IoT, complement national security concerns and environmental goals, giving India access to proactive, AI-driven governance.
