TCS and C-DAC Collaborate to Boost India’s Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to advance India’s sovereign cloud ecosystem. 

This partnership aims to create scalable, AI-enabled cloud platforms that align with India’s data localisation requirements and bolster the digital transformation of key public sector services.

Collaborative Innovation for Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure

This collaboration with C-DAC, India’s premier R&D institution under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), focuses on integrating indigenous technologies into TCS’s sovereign cloud offerings. The partnership will support secure, compliant hosting of essential government applications such as e-Sanjeevani, Dial 112, and central ministry workloads.

It is designed to ensure strict adherence to data protection regulations while enhancing enterprise adoption. The collaboration will significantly boost security, compliance, and performance across sectors like healthcare, defence, smart cities, and BFSI. 

As per exchange filings, Magesh Ethirajan, Director General – C-DAC, commented, “We are proud to join hands with TCS in a collaborative research partnership focused on developing and delivering next-generation technologies for sovereign cloud, aligned with the nation’s strategic and digital priorities. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in India’s journey toward technological self-reliance.”

Driving Self-Reliance and Digital Transformation

The partnership reflects India’s broader strategic aim to reduce dependence on global hyperscalers by developing a robust sovereign cloud ecosystem powered by OpenStack and indigenous technologies. Through joint research and public sector engagement, TCS and C-DAC aspire to establish sovereign cloud platforms as the default choice for India’s digital future.

For nearly 6 decades, TCS has supported India’s tech revolution through nation-building programmes, creating digital public infrastructure and improving citizen services. Trusted by multiple government ministries, TCS reaches nearly 7 out of 10 Indians daily, providing services ranging from enabling stock exchanges to enhancing health insurance and defence pension systems.
