    Yotta to Deploy Bhashini’s End-to-end Sovereign AI Cloud

    Yotta Data Services has deployed open-source language translation platform Bhashini’s end-to-end sovereign AI cloud transformation on both Yotta’s Government Community Cloud and Shakti Cloud.

    According to Yotta, the deployed environment is a modular, reusable reference framework designed for adoption across ministries, public sector units, and large-scale national programmes. With this advancement, Bhashini now operates entirely on Indian cloud and GPU infrastructure, ensuring that language datasets, models, and citizen interactions are governed by Indian law.

    The company claimed that transferring national digital public goods from hyperscaler environments to local cloud infrastructure delivered up to a 40% performance boost, 20–30% cost savings, and 99.99% uptime. The transition was completed without data loss, managing over 200 TiB and 3.5 billion files.

    Abhishek Singh, CEO of IndiaAI Mission, said, “The successful migration of Bhashini to indigenous cloud and GPU platforms demonstrates that India can build, scale, and secure its sovereign AI systems for the public good.” 

    Over two to three months, the migration covered Bashini's entire AI infrastructure, including multilingual datasets, models, APIs, containerised services, orchestration pipelines, databases, and storage solutions. The newly implemented architecture uses open-source, cloud-agnostic components, ensuring long-term neutrality with respect to vendors and maintaining strategic independence.

    The deployed environment has been designed as a modular, reusable reference framework for use across various ministries, public sector organisations, and large-scale national initiatives.

    It offers a definitive model for transitioning from hyperscalers to Indian cloud solutions and bolsters India’s aspiration to establish AI as a secure, inclusive, and sovereign public utility that facilitates economic development, digital inclusivity, and technological advancement.

    Sunil Gupta, Co-founder, Managing Director and CEO, Yotta Data Services, said, “ This transition highlights that hyperscale, mission-critical AI platforms can be built and operated entirely on sovereign infrastructure, without compromise. The project validates India’s ability to run advanced AI workloads on open, interoperable architectures and reflects Yotta’s capability to build and operate digital infrastructure at a national scale.”
