Communications technology company Tata Communications and conversational and generative AI specialist CoRover.ai have announced plans to bringing sovereign AI solutions to Indian enterprises and government bodies.

Sovereign AI refers to a nation’s capabilities to produce artificial intelligence using its own infrastructure, data, workforce and business networks. This collaboration, say the partners, will 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 (LLM) — the partners say they will deliver cutting-edge, GenAI-powered solutions designed to meet the unique needs of India’s evolving digital landscape and a diverse market.

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, ministries, public entities, and private enterprises access to advanced GenAI-powered solutions spanning text, voice, and video. With a strong 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 says its AI platform will empower 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 CoRover tools addressing diverse use cases such as grievance management, onboarding and payment processing. These tools seamlessly integrate with popular customer relationship management (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. These solution are also optimised for energy efficiency, edge AI and IoT.
