    AMD and Tata Consultancy Services have expanded their collaboration to enable enterprise customers to accelerate AI at scale with an AI training and inference platform designed to improve operational efficiency, time-to-deployment, and real-world enterprise impact across industries.

    TCS, through its subsidiary HyperVault AI Data Center Limited, and AMD will co-develop a rack‑scale AI infrastructure design based on the AMD ‘Helios’ platform in support of India’s national AI initiatives.

    Powered by AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, next-generation AMD EPYC ‘Venice’ CPUs, AMD Pensando ‘Vulcano’ NICs and the open ROCm software ecosystem, Helios is purpose-built to deliver a rack-scale AI platform supporting sovereign AI factories. 

    Helios, combined with TCS’ enterprise expertise and scale, will accelerate deployment and enhance operational efficiencies for enterprises.

    As part of this strategic collaboration, both companies will offer an AI‑ready data centre blueprint supporting up to 200 MW of capacity and will work with hyperscalers and AI companies to accelerate 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.”

    "We are enabling enterprises across India to deploy AI at scale today while building the compute foundation of tomorrow,” Su added.

    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 centre engineering, we are poised to deliver state‑of‑the‑art infrastructure solutions for AI companies and global enterprises.”

    TCS established HyperVault in 2025 with the vision of delivering GW-scale, secure, and reliable AI‑ready infrastructure for hyperscalers, AI companies, and global enterprises. This announcement builds on the recent strategic collaboration between TCS and AMD to help enterprises scale AI adoption and modernise hybrid environments.
