Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has expanded its strategic partnership with US chipmaker AMD to co-develop a rack-scale AI infrastructure architecture, based on AMD ‘Helios’ platform for India as part of the country’s broader push to build sovereign AI capabilities.

Under the collaboration, TCS — through its subsidiary HyperVault AI Data Center Limited (HyperVault) — and AMD will co-develop the architecture that will be purpose-built to support “sovereign AI factories” aligned with India’s national AI initiatives.

The Helios platform will be powered by AMD’s Instinct MI455X GPUs, next-generation EPYC “Venice” CPUs, Pensando Vulcano NICs and the open ROCm software ecosystem. Combined with TCS’ enterprise integration capabilities, the companies aim to accelerate AI deployment at scale while improving operational efficiencies for large enterprises.

As part of the partnership, TCS and AMD will offer an AI-ready data centre blueprint capable of supporting up to 200 MW of capacity. The two companies plan to work with hyperscalers and AI-native firms to fast-track data centre build-outs in India.

Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO, AMD, said, "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.”

K. Krithivasan, MD and CEO, TCS, said, “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.”

TCS set up HyperVault in 2025 to build GW-scale, secure and AI-ready infrastructure for hyperscalers, AI companies and global enterprises. The latest announcement builds on the companies’ earlier partnership to help enterprises scale AI adoption and modernise hybrid environments.
