As India pursues its Digital India vision, the importance of sovereign technologies, including sovereign artificial intelligence, cannot be overstated. Sovereign AI refers to a nation’s capabilities to produce AI using its own infrastructure, data, workforce, and business networks, and this capability is critical to ensuring data privacy and national security.
In a bid to bring sovereign AI solutions to Indian enterprises and government bodies, Tata Communications, a communications technology company, and CoRover.ai, a provider of conversational and generative AI, have announced a collaboration. This collaboration aims to strengthen India’s capabilities while ensuring data sovereignty, cultural relevance, and regulatory compliance within the country’s digital ecosystem.
By leveraging Tata Communications’ Sovereign AI Cloud Platform and CoRover’s human-centric conversational AI technologies—including BharatGPT, its proprietary large language model—the partnership will deliver Gen AI-powered solutions.
This collaboration will include developing citizen-centric applications, robust digital public infrastructure, and scalable e-governance solutions that prioritise security, data governance, and user engagement. The partnership will offer Indian government agencies, departments, and ministries; public entities; and private enterprises access to advanced Gen AI-powered solutions spanning text, voice, and video.
The highlights of this partnership include:
-
Data Sovereignty: Data will be confined within national boundaries, processed by locally trained models, and securely managed in cloud infrastructure, maintaining greater control.
-
Regulatory Adherence: Solutions to comply with Indian regulations, providing transparency, auditing, and adherence to data protection and security standards.
-
Cultural Relevance And Localisation: Multilingual support and cultural sensitivity enhance user experience, especially in India’s diverse linguistic landscape.
-
Public Sector And Governance Solutions: With a focus on governance, AI solutions will aid government bodies in managing citizen services with efficiency and accountability.
By simplifying the often-complex process of working with Gen AI models, Tata Communications’ AI platform will enable organisations to build and deploy advanced AI-driven applications swiftly without deep technical expertise.
The partnership will also offer ready-to-market AI products and additional customisable solutions along with tools like CoRoAssist, CoRoGrievance, CoRoPayments, CoRoOnboarding, and CoRoAnalytics, addressing diverse use cases such as grievance management, onboarding, and payment processing. These tools integrate with popular CRM platforms and live agent interfaces for seamless user experiences.
The Sovereign AI platform will support open-source AI initiatives, fostering India’s AI talent while ensuring secure data storage, processing, and usage. Optimised for energy efficiency, edge AI, and IoT, these solutions align with national sustainability goals and security priorities.
