While Reliance’s telecom and technology subsidiary Jio Platforms Ltd will build a framework for local-language deployment of generative AI, Tata Communications Ltd will build an AI cloud for its clients. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services firm, will also use Nvidia’s AI computing infrastructure to develop generative AI applications for its clients.

Jio Platforms said the partnership will seek “to develop India’s own foundational large language model (LLM) trained on diverse languages."

Tata Communications will build an AI cloud, which it will offer to its clients in an infrastructure-as-a-service model. An AI cloud is a remote computing platform built specifically for the development and deployment of AI applications and use cases, which, in this case, will be powered by Nvidia’s GH200 AI chip. Jio’s AI infrastructure will also use the same chip.
