Protean eGov Technologies (Protean) has announced a partnership with Google Cloud to set up a generative AI Centre of Excellence (CoE). The partnership aims to accelerate DPI (Digital Public Infrastructure) deployment and the adoption of Generative AI and cloud in both public and private sectors in multiple ways.

The centre of excellence will harness the potential of recently launched Google’s open commerce solution for ONDC combined with Protean’s ONDC Buyer and Seller platforms to supercharge the adoption of ONDC by participants.

This partnership will further aim to strengthen Protean’s identity authentication solutions (eAuthentication, eKYC, eSign) and Data Services with Google’s cloud computing and AI capability to scale-up its adoption, aiming to solve for end-to-end digital onboarding journeys across sectors.

Further, this centre of excellence aims to spur innovation in delivering digital public goods across diverse sectors of e-commerce, healthcare, agriculture, mobility, education and financial services.

Protean intends to leverage the advanced GenAI and VertexAI offered by Google Cloud to solve a wide array of use cases and deliver eGovernance solutions across these sectors.

“This partnership will influence ONDC network adoption and the centre of excellence will power multi-sectoral innovations at population-scale. We eagerly look forward to unlocking the potential of this collaboration with Google’s products and people and staying committed to our mission of Building for Billions," Suresh Sethi, MD & CEO, Protean eGov Technologies said.
